FreeCommander Forum

Have an odd bug.

1) Have toolbar buttons for folder sort by name, date.
2) My default layout is two folder panes with list view for both with files sorted by name using "Windows natural sorting" in ascending order i.e. a-z etc.
3) If click the toolbar button to sort by date then click the button to sort by name the files are sorted in descending order.

I have found

a) This appeared to get introduced in version 869 i.e. if I revert to version 868 or earlier it doesn't happen,
b) I can prevent it I simply switch the panel from list to detailed view and back again
c) I can also prevent it if I start FreeCommander with the active panel in detailed view

Not a major issue as I now get into the habit of pressing F9 twice when I open FreeCommander. If I forget to do that a simple click of the toolbar button sorts the file names in ascending order.

Please check your column profile:
- select the "Name" line
- at the bottom check "Sorting" value
- it should be ASC in your case

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't have any custom column profiles, just have the fc_default_view and 'Name' appears to have ASC as you suggest, see below.

Note I have tried deleting and then adding the toolbar buttons which was a suggestion from a forum post.

If it does not work - please send me your freecommander.ini.

Freecommander.ini from the Settings folder attached.

I can't see anything in the file that could be regarded as "personal information" so attached instead of sending via a direct message.

Thanks for your efforts.

Fixed for the next release.

Thanks. Looking forward to it

Confirm all appears find with version 875. Many thanks.

You mean "fine"?

Yes, "fine" is what I meant to type.

OK, thanks.

Closed.
