<![CDATA[File sorting problem in folder workspace]]>Folder work area The default sorting of files is inconsistent with the sorting by file name in Windows. When a file is added or deleted in the folder, it will be consistent with the sorting of Windows files when the file list refresh is triggered! Can it be the same as Windows sorting by file name by default?

Wrong order：
ODS_HIS_NEW-DHCMA_CPW_BT.ini
ODS_HIS_NEW-DHCMA_CPW_BT.log
ODS_HIS_NEW.ini
ODS_HIS_NEW.log
ODS_HIS_NEW_DAY.ini
ODS_HIS_NEW_DAY.log

Correct order：
ODS_HIS_NEW.ini
ODS_HIS_NEW.log
ODS_HIS_NEW_DAY.ini
ODS_HIS_NEW_DAY.log
ODS_HIS_NEW-DHCMA_CPW_BT.ini
ODS_HIS_NEW-DHCMA_CPW_BT.log

Can you optimize the sorting order of the working folder file list in subsequent versions?

I cannot. As I tried to make clear, this Forum is not the location for official feature requests; if you read the FAQ Desk: Feature Request or Bug Report link that I included in my previous message, it explains exactly where and how to make feature requests.

Can you optimize the sorting order of the working folder file list in subsequent versions?

I can confirm the order is different between Windows Explorer alphabetical sorted file list and the Folder as Workspace order, even in the newest v7.9.1.

The FAQ Desk: Feature Request or Bug Report explains where to make official issues that will be tracked. If you do create an issue, please paste a link to that issue in this topic, so others who read your question here will be able to see the resolution.

Thanks and good luck.
