1348: Folder sort order

Post by Lowlander »

Folders with leading underscore get sorted last in My Computer and Add/Rescan Tracks dialog, while the Temporary Directory uses a different sort (_temp is still sorted last, but _____Music get's sorted first). Windows Explorer sorts them first.

Tested on skinned 1348 on XP. Can anyone confirm?

I don't understand the 3 scenarios, however, I tested the Locations node in 1355, and directories prefaced with _ e.g. '_x', appear at the beginning of the list. I suspect that the issue has been resolved as part of http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=7479 .

Can you confirm?

Yes, the sorting of the folders seems to be correct now in the different places, but sorting of drives is a problem everywhere but Add/Rescan Tracks. I've checked the Temp folder, Download folder, Podcast folder and UPnP cache folder:

My initial thought was that it's sorting on drive name and not drive letter, but the first listed drive starts with H.

The wrong drive order in places like Downloads and UPnP Cache still persist in 1373.
