Overall Recycle Bin sorts by Size using numbers but ignores their magnitude

#1 Post by Forez » 18.07.2022, 15:30

When I open Recycle Bin in FreeCommander through shortcut on Favorite Toolbar that has a parameter like

Code: Select all

-T -C -L=::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
and click Column named Size, then the files get arranged by numbers - but ignoring bytes, KB, MB and GB "annotations"; thus for example I see pseudo-order like this:

1 MB
1.50 GB
10 GB
500 MB
700 KB
800 bytes
900 MB
999 bytes

And as such this makes sorting by Size useless

At the same time Windows Explorer has no problem with proper sorting of content of Recycle Bin when I navigate to some - as well as FC when I navigate in it to a particular Recycle Bin of some drive. And FreeCommander also has no problem with sorting by Size content of even a whole archive drive consisting of 200 000+ files, ranging from 0 bytes to 200+ GB

I am using version 861 32-bit public on Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 19042.746 x64

Works fine for me.
What regional settings do you have in Windows?

Same here too, works good, but I remember similar issue with date and the reason was the "regional settings".

I have looked into them- there are a lot settigns among them but none of them refer to Recycle Bin feature or measurement of weight of files

The only one I can think of that could affect my Recycle Bin behavior is the number of digits after decimal point - but changing it from 2 to 3 did not help

Apparently this difference is on the behalf of Recycle Bin using stubbornly Size instead of Auto Size, with the latter taking into account the magnitude
