I have some files and three directories.
When I open Windows Explorer I can see them in the following order which I assume is the correct one
OfficeXP GR
OfficeXP_Admin
OfficeXPAddIns
01.txt
1.txt
02.txt
2.txt
10.txt
In TC I can see them in the following order
OfficeXP GR
OfficeXP_Admin
OfficeXPAddIns
01.txt
02.txt
1.txt
10.txt
2.txt
I insert the following in the wincmd.in SortUpper=2 and then in TC I can see them in the following order
OfficeXP_Admin
OfficeXPAddIns
OfficeXP GR
01.txt
1.txt
02.txt
2.txt
10.txt
It seems that this setting SortUpper=2 sorts the files in the correct way but NOT the directories. Could somebody tell me why does this thing happen and is there a way to correct it?
Thanks in advance
Which is the right order for files to be sorted?

You must tell totalcmdr to handle DIRs as files before u can sort them. I think...? I'm no power user. Just a 24/7 user. And the first example u gave bout TC
"In TC I can see them in the following order
OfficeXP GR
OfficeXP_Admin
OfficeXPAddIns
01.txt
02.txt
1.txt
10.txt
2.txt"
is the right way to sort files. I am sure that ppl will corect me if I am wrong. : D
HTH some.

Normally the first TC example is standard sorting.
But with SortUpper=2 you want to have different behaviour.
Numbers are sorted in more "humanoidal" way, eg: 1,5,9,10,11,20 intead of standard sorting: 1,10,11,20,5,9.
Also spaces are put first in standard sorting (before letter a), but in SortUpper=2 mode space are ignored, therfore OfficeXP GR is equal to OfficeXPGR. However behaviour with character "_" is unchanged - this character is still sorted before letter a. If you want to know more just create files/dirs with various names containing spaces and numbers and see how the sorting changes.
