In Free Commander XE is there a way to change the sort like Windows Explorer does? See the Dropbox link https://www.dropbox.com/s/j34o0d05yv9bv ... d.jpg?dl=0 The left panel is the way Free Commander XE normally is. The right panel I did a bit of pixel rearranging to show how the tree and file sort would be like if the changes can be made. Is it possible?

You have to switch the sort method at Settings > View > File/folder list" on the tab "Sorting" to "Natural sorting (as Explorer)"

As I see from screenshot @reble wants to use different sorting methods for left and right panels (alphabetical and natural).
But sorting is applied to both panels...

I think it's rather good idea to add separate sorting methods for each panel.

To switch trees for both panels, Settings - View - Tree - One tree per panel and for each panel use Alt+T to switch tree ON.

Timon you are not quite on the right page with me. The left panel is the way Free Commander is now. The right panel I doctored to make it look like what I would like both panels to be. About your idea of different sorting methods for each panel is a good idea.
