Whether a file is executable or not seems to affect the sort
ordering in netrw. In my .vimrc, I have:
let g:netrw_sort_sequence='[\/]$,*,\.o$,\.info$,\.swp$,\.obj$,\.bak
$,\.orig$,^\.'
(All on one line, in case something screws up the formatting
along the way.)
In one particular directory, which contains some shell scripts
(.sh), I get:
../
Gabi/
comp-gcc/
comp-suncc-stlport/
comp-suncc/
comp-vc80/
conf/
syst-posix/
syst-windows/
GNUmakefile
makeVariants.sh*
makeVariants.sh.orig*
makeVersion.sh*
makeVersion.sh.bak*
makeVersion.sh.orig*
.makeVersion.sh.swp
GNUmakefile.orig
.nfs005545560000041a
.nfs005545580000041b
With the .orig and .bak of the executable files ordered without
regard to the sort sequence. (Adding \.bak\*$,\.orig\*$ to the
list fixes the problem.) This seems like a bug to me; I would
have expected the sorting to take place before the * got added.
(But wouldn't this prevent using the sort ordering to get the
directories to the top? So maybe it isn't a bug after all, but
a feature.)
Or perhaps there's some way of turning off the *; syntax
highlighting displays it in a different color, so it doesn't add
anything. (Or does syntax highlighting trigger on the * for the
color.) Or turning off any particular recognition whether a
file is executable or not---I know which files should be
executable (from the name, if nothing else), and when moving
files to and from Windows, the x bit often gets set for files
where it doesn't apply, so the information is in some ways
false. (x-bit or not, if I invoke a C++ source as a command,
Unix isn't going to execute it.)
