Windows XP files sort order

Post by *pintel »

MS changed the way windows explorer (XP only) sorts filenames with numbers (read it in a magazine, never use explorer :) )

In a nutshell, if you have the files: test1, test10, test 2 - the files will be sorted like that: test1, test 2, test10.

It also ignores trailing 0s - so test01 will be sorted as test1.

This sounds amazingly logical to me. Is there a way to include a switch in TC to support it?

Harry up with TC 6, I need my fix :D
