Sort by Name in nautilus Gnome 2.24

Since Gnome 2.24 Nautilus is case sensitive in Sort by Name. First Upper case files and than lower case. (Desktop, Downloads, applications etc. it should have been applications, Desktop, Downloads etc.
Can I change this somehow? Its really anoying since I got used in "normal" setup.
Any ideas?

I recently had this issue as well. Turns out that LC_COLLATE is set to C in /etc/profile (line 41) and thus making the sorting case-sensitive.
A solution I read on another topic (can't find it now) is to comment that line out (I've commented it from the export line as well):
#LC_COLLATE="C"
export HISTSIZE HISTCONTROL INPUTRC LESS #LC_COLLATE
That makes sense.
I just add export LC_COLLATE="zh_CN.UTF-8" to my ~/.profile, and everything goes fine.
It might have sth to do with the latest gdm, since it used to sort by pinyin & case insensitive order.

ITunes 11: In the store, I can no longer sort by name/artist/album

I can no longer sort by name or artist or album when I'm in the store with iTunes 11. Yes, I discovered the View Options in the Menu Bar. By when I select it nothing opens. Same for Command-J. It doesn't do anything either. I've tried hitting Command-J repeatedly, but nothing.
The fact is, it seems utterly stupid to have this work differently than when you're in your library---by simply hitting name/artist or album in the bar at the top of the list. Having to sort lists in the Store via a completely different method than the lists in one's library is totally counter-intuitive.
But back to my problem: The View Options won't open for me. Anybody know how to fix this?
I've got a lot of music I wish to buy, but I need different methods of sorting, otherwise it'll be a nightmare trying to keep track of things.
Thanks,
Doug

I have the same exact problem. I am using a Windows computer running Windows 7. I was able to see them prior to the installation of 10.4. I have this problem on 2 computers and have a hard time believing that no one else is having this problem

In Bookmarks, when I right click on a bookmark "SORT BY NAME" is no longer there. how do I get it back?

In Bookmarks I used to be able to right click on a bookmark and in a menu box I could click on, SORT BY NAME, sort by name is no longer in the right click menu. I don't want to have to drag to sort bookmarks as I have too many. How do I get "SORT BY NAME" back in the right click menu in Bookmarks? Thanks, HT

In Firefox the option to sort bookmarks is only available for folders and not for individual bookmarks.
Easiest to sort by name is to do that in the left pane of the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) and right-click the folder that you want to sort.

Album 'sort by name'

I just purchased Elements 10 and am disappointed that it is not possible to 'sort by name' in the Album. This is a basic fundamental option in all OS so why not in Elements 10?
John

Albums will usually respect file names (alphabetical order) if you change from date sort.
You can also drag to arrange and the photos will retain their fixed (numbered) positions.

Outlook sort by name - quicktype / searching by name using keyboard doesn't work right

I'm not sure how to best explain this. In Outlook first you sort by name, and then you quickly type the first few letters of the person's name.
In Outlook 2010, this would cause it to go to the right person. For example if I type M-A-R it would go to Mark
However in Outlook 2013 when I type M-A-R rapidly, it goes to the R's in the alphabet.
Anyone else had this experience and have a suggestion on how to do anything about it?

Hi,
Could you give us more exact information? Did you refer to sort by "TO" or "From"?
In Outlook 2013, on “Mai” tab, under "search box" section, there is no "By Name" option in the sort options.
Please check and rebuild the index:
Click start and in the search box type "Index". Go into the Indexing Options applet and Click "Modify". When the Indexed Locations dialog comes up, make sure " Microsoft Outlook" is checked.
If the issue still persists, you can rebuild the index for test.
Best regards,

When I select my iPod touch in iTunes the buttons are inactive when I try to sort by name, artist etc. Also about half of the links under 'file' etc are not active.

Elements 11 Sort By Name does not always sort by name

If I choose Sort By: Name, MOST of the images are sorted properly by filename, but some are not.
All my files are named YYYYMMDD####, but yet (for instance) in this view right now I have three files that start with 20150317 that are sorting BEFORE pictures with filenames 20150101... Then everything goes sequentially as expected, right through the place in the sequence where these pictures SHOULD be.
At the end of the sort I have similar problems. If the sequence ends with (say) 20140414...., then there will also be pictures with filenames like 20150317 AFTER that.
This makes no sense. The system simply cannot be actually sorting by filename and having this result. It's got to be using some metadata of some sort, not filename.
I've looked at the advanced properties/metadata and there does not appear to be any difference between files that properly sort and those that show up out of sequence.
What's the deal?

Just to update this in case someone else is having a similar problem.
First, I mis-spoke. I'm on 12, not 11.
With that, I do have all the right menu choices to "sort by name", however when I did that, it did not correct the sort order. A very small fraction of what I had in the catalog (perhaps 1%) persisted in sorting by some unknown criteria. Viewing the meta data or properties of the files did not show any differences between the files that were sorting "out of sequence" and those that were.
At one point, thinking something had corrupted the catalog (I have a lot of files, who knows..) I "repaired" and then "optimized" the catalog. No change.
Ultimately what I did was (just to "try something") was delete the catalog entry for those files (not the files themselves) and then re-scan that folder. Elements Organizer "found" the files again and imported them into the catalog. After that, they now show up properly, sorted by filename, in the thumbnail view (by folder).
So.. whatever it was, it was solved in this way. We'll see if it now recurs.
Thanks!

How do I alphabetize my bookmarks. "Sort by Name" option only sorts general bookmark folders, not actual bookmarks.

I want to have my bookmarks displayed alphabetically but the "Sort by Name" option under "Organize" only applies to folders in the "Library". How do I just sort my list of bookmarks as I can easily do with IE?

Look at SortPlaces: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/9275

I can't get Sort By Name to work on the Bookmarks Menu. How do you sort your folders alphabetically?

I have my bookmarks sorted in folders. When I create a new folder it goes to the end of the list. I have tried going into Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks, right click on Bookmarks Menu and Sort By Name but nothing happens. I have to manually move the newly created folder.

Open the Bookmarks Manager. Open the folder branch tree. On this tree,
select the folder you want with a right click.

I have no problem sorting an individual folder by name, I can't get the list of folders to sort. As you can see by the attached images, several folders I've added are at the bottom of the folder list and even after I right click on Bookmark Menu/Sort By Name, they don't alphabetize.

Sorting doesn't seem to sort by name - why?

Having successfully migrated from Aperture to Photos I was surprised to find that the sorting function is minimal and doesn't appear to work. With 'Keep sorted by date' unselected my pictures do not sort by name. The only thing I seem to be able to sort by name is the Album in which I keep my folders of pictures within Photos.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks!

When you changed the folder setting for iTunes, you may have noticed at the top of the dialogue box that is was changing the settings for that folder only. For instance, I did my little test on a drive named "Video". When I called up the View Options, the box specifically said Video at the top. So I knew the change was only going to affect that folder.
There is a box at the bottom to Use as Defaults, but it still only affects that folder. I can't see a way to make the option global, which means you have to mark folders one at a time to calculate the subfolder sizes. Probably intentional as it can really slow down the Finder's response time when it has to sit there and tally up the contents of every folder you open, or reopen.

About 'Sort Artist' name

Hi
i am trying to find out,
as some of my songs' "sort artist" is grey in color (instead of black),
and if the "sort artist" content word is grey in color, it will automatically sort songs with same ARTIST name to have the same "sort artist" name.
EG: if the ARTIST name is The Pussycat Dolls, and the "sort artist" name is Pussycat Dolls (grey in color instead of black), all songs ARTIST name with 'The Pussycat Dolls' will automatically change the "sort artist" name to Pussycat Dolls.
EG: if the ARTIST name is The Pussycat Dolls, and the "sort artist" name is Pussycat Dolls (black in color), all songs ARTIST name with 'The Pussycat Dolls' will not automatically change the "sort artist" name to Pussycat Dolls.
May I know how to set the "sort artist" name to become grey color so that it will automatically change the "sort artist" name for all ARTIST with the same name?
Anyone's soonest help will be appreciated.
Thank you
Grace Tang

Vendor list sort by name

dear experts,
do you know how to make a list of vendor (active and non active) sorted by name?
moreover, do you know the differences of blocking vendor and flag the vendor for deletation,
and the how to delete vendor master data?
regards,
Lily

hi,
thanks for your reply. I tried LFA1 (V_LFA1_CORE) to maintain the vendor table,
but it can't be sort by name since there is not sorting button/selection.
I tried the old fashion by going to vendor list in FB60, sort it by name and print it.
at least i can know the active vendors account sorted by name.
Moreover, in the maintaining field there is a delete button,
I tried to delete 1 vendor account that I had put flag for deletation and now after I check
in the vendor master data list, it is not appearing anymore. I guess the vendor master had been deleted.

My photo albums used to be sorted by name now they are sorted by date (ipod touch ) any ideas?

my photo albums on my ipod touch
were sorted by name now they are sorted by date taken .I didn't change any settings on my computer any ideas?

You're in the Photo Mode with Event Titles displayed so you are looking at events. But in this mode you can only sort the photos within the Events, not the Events.
Go to the Events mode and there you can sort the events by: date, title or manually:
FWIW albums arew those items in the left hand pane:

I surely would like to be able to 'sort by name' feature in my bookmarks like I do on the desktop version.

In the desktop version of the firefox 'release' channel browser, you can simply choose a group of saved bookmarks, and then choose the 'sort by name' option to sort your bookmarks. I've installed the latest firefox mobile version on my lenovo ideatab A2109A tablet, and that feature doesn't exist. At this point in time there isn't even any addon available to use either. I surely enjoy using firefox on my windows computer's, and I DO realize that android is different from windows, but I would hope that someday in the near future..this 'important' feature can be added. In both the 'stock' android browser, boat browser, and also google chrome browser, this feature has already been implemented.
Thanks,
David

Hi again David,<br/>I forgot to mention there is an option to provide feedback comments at http://input.mozilla.org/feedback
It is a rational question.
I do not know the answer but comparing the size and complexity of desktop versions of Firefox with Mobile I surmise it is one or all of:
# hardware limitations: cpu & probably most importantly RAM.<br/> On a mobile RAM is used for the static files that would reside on a hdd plus any cache, in addition to what normally has to be in RAM.
#development time & resources, this is a fairly new product
#need for compatibility on lower spec devices
You may also note there is a '''''Firefox OS''''' in development/rollout https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/partners/
We try not to have off topic conversations on the forum because as an open and Search Engine indexed forum any discussion attracts further posts.

As Onur suggests, if you are using BEx Queries, it is certainly possible at least in/through BEx Queries, see this answer in another thread: Re: How to create loop in Design Studio
