"Sort folders as files - except for name" does what exactly?

[Forez]

Under the

Tools > Settings > View > Sorting

option "Sort folders as files" is self explanatory - but what does do the "Sort folders as files - except for name" version?

I cannot spot a difference and its later description sounds like a contradiction of its function

[ralfso]

This setting is for sorting folders on top of files when they are sorted by name and sorted mixed with files when they are sorted by date.

Despite heaving read it several times, on two separate days, I still did not understood your explanation

[ralfso]

Don't know how to explain it better.

If "sort folders as files" is cheched, folders and files are mixed in every display-sort order (by name, by date, by extension,… ).

If "sort folders as files - except for name" is cheched, folders are sorted on top of files when name-column is marked and are mixed with files if any other column is marked.

So if I understood it correctly, in order for this second version to be more informative, it should be renamed to something like

"Sort folders as files - except for name (when sorting by Name column)"

or

"Sort folders as files - except for name (i.e. when sort order is by Column with Name)"

?
