Sorting of filenames with numbers

Post by *bonnstyle »

I have multiple files with numbering, for example anime-episodes.
In Windows Explorer everything is perfect when listing the files, but in TotalCommander the number is odds... as it order by first number it found in stead of order descending/ascending... like 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 10 11.... in totalcmd its 1 10 11 2 3 4 5 6....

Is it possible to make it order nicely like in windows... It's really annoying when I have to select all file (Ctrl+A) and rename them (Ctrl+M) ... and have to drag those file... Some series is over 1000 and imagine you seeing something like this... 1 10 11...19...100 101 102...then 2 20 22 23... 200 201 201... It's really irritating. you drag them... and tried to renumbering them.

Or maybe it's possible to do it. If so, please point me out the way.

Thank you very much.

A: Go to menu Configuration - Options - Display. There is an option to set the sort method. Choose the last option:
Natural sorting: Alphabetical and numbers
There is an option "Sort method", choose one of the natural sorting methods.
