MRT: Sorting files fails on branch view

[StatusQuo]

In MRT sorting by file name or extension does not work properly, if MRT is called from "Branch View" mode (Ctrl+B).

(Example Screenshot and file structure this was tested with.)

To reproduce:

• in a dir with some sub-directories press Ctrl+B to show all files including sub-dirs
• call MRT and switch sorting to "Old name" or "Ext."

The names are sorted by (relative) path, not by the selected criteria.
Sorting by size or date works as expected, though.

This behaviour is by design.
In branch view the full name is used (with path).

If you need sorting by name only, you have to use a custom column like [=tc.Name] and sort by this column before starting MRT.

Sad to hear that. Because it differs from the sorting in TC's main window, this is not really intuitive, IMO
(I'd prefer the other way, defining and sorting by [=tc.Path] for the current behaviour).

Nice workaround, thanks. At least I can live with this now.
