Thunar: incorrect sort order

Hello, everyone.
Guys, maybe any of you encountered with that problem in Thunar... especially if you use cyrillic letters in file or folder names.
I have the latest version of Thunar (1.4.0) installed, and it turns out it incorrectly sorts contents of folders.
I can not even understand the way Thunar sorts contents of any folder.
Here is the contents of one folder "sorted" by name (ascending).
Looking from top to bottom I see file names starting with...
cyrillic upper letters
digits
cyrillic lower letters
again digits
again cyrillic lower letters
english lower letters
and again cyrillic lower letters
Concrete example of another folder "sorted" by name:
голубь.txt
иволга.txt
аист.txt
орёл.txt
сова.txt
Absoluletly wrong order. The file with name that starts with 'A' is in the middle.
Cyrillic alpabet is:
Аа Бб Вв Гг Дд Ее Ёё Жж Зз Ии Йй Кк Лл Мм Нн Оо Пп Рр Сс Тт Уу Фф Хх Цц Чч Шш Щщ ЬЬ Ыы ЪЪ Ээ Юю Яя
Meanwhile
ls -1
gives right order
аист.txt
голубь.txt
иволга.txt
орёл.txt
сова.txt
PCManFM and other filemanagers give right sort order.
So, Thunar DOES NOT sort with 'ls'. Also, sort order of Thunar CAN NOT be changed using LC_COLLATE.
Thunar uses its own "mega-wise" algorithm.
P.S.
By the way, before version 1.4.0, everything was OK in Thunar. So one day their devs decided to make some "improvements".

This is open source, bro. You can't make anybody do anything, but you might encourage some admin to ban you if you willfully break rules. If you can't break open the source and fix the problem yourself (which is surely the most speedy solution!), you're better off following community procedures and being as helpful as possible.

Thunar wrong sort order

Today after installing arch on my laptop i noticed that the sort order of my files and folders in thunar are wrong. I made a little test folder:
The order of the folders in the test folder don't change when I change the sort order but in other folders the sort order is reversed but the folders and files are not sorted.
Has someone the same Problem or a fix for it?

All Photos Album Incorrect Sort Order

When I view the album "All Photos" from iCloud.com my photos are sorted by date with the newest ones at the bottom. When I view "All Photos" within iOS or the OS X app, the sorting order isn't correct. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I think this is an embarrassing thought-fail on Apple's part.
After removing good ways of sharing photos from one library to another, people end up having to get older pictures, or pictures loaded into a laptop while traveling, back onto our main Photos libraries though copying (edited) files over the network and re-add them. This create systematic discrepancies in date added and date taken.
When "All Photos" Panoramas", "Videos" and otherwise handy views can only be viewed by date added they add to the feeling of having to keep your photos in an exposed disorder.
If you think of a photo, do you think about when/where you took it or when/to what library you added the photo?
People think of the first, and machines (and now apparently Apple) intuitively think of the second..
But maybe I'm too harsh, and I have missed something. Can anybody see a good reason for focusing on date added rather than date taken?

Incorrect sort order of rows in Purchase Order based on Sales Order

Hello Experts.
I have this problem on SAP B1 8.81 PL 04:
I create a Purchase Order based on a Sales Order with 10 item rows, ticking the purchase order box in the logistic tab.
The sort order of rows is different between PO and SO.
I need the same order of SO on PO.
Is there something I can do or it's a problem of this patch?
I saw the Sap Note nr. 824822 but it's related to SAP B1 version 2004 A...

Hi,
Are you able to reproduce the issue in the DEMO Database on the 8.81 PL04?
Also, have you checked the issue in the latest patch of the 8.81?

Incorrect Sort Order - On Home Page - News and Announcements

On the Company sub-pages "News and Announcements" the sort order is correct. The most recently added News or Announcements is at the top of the list sorted by Publish Date.
However on the Home Page they are not.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi,
There is Enhancement Request on this problem created on Metalink (Bug 5571606) for about a year. It is marked as "Very desirable feature" but no info about when this desireable feature will be available. I asked Portal consultant at Oracle Services and was told, it depends on how many and how big customers would request this feature on behalf of their valid Support Contract.
So the only way I think is to create Service Requests on Metalink asking for patch.
I did in September 2006, what about you dear colleagues?

Incorrect sorting order

I have a description column in my report that will not sort in the right order (desc or asc). The other five columns sort correctly, but this one column sorts the first column of the report (primary key ID). The ID is sorted as follows:
104
105
10
11
12
ect....
This happens to be the same sequence if I sort asc or desc of the description column. Any ideas on how i can get this description column to sort properly?
I'm not using breaks, order by, or any special sort sequence. On the page attributes I have checked sort for all the columns visible, and left the sort sequence blank. Thanks!!

Sorry I wasn't explicit enough in my details. This is the outcome of my report.
This is before I sort on any column.
ID CODE DESCRIPTION ABBREV SYS DESC [u]DATE
49, HEXP, VEHICLE TAX ...., SNOWATV, SNOWMOBILE, ?
3, PRRT, PREMIUM RATE, MSI, MINE SUBSIDENCE, ?
4, RFT, REFUND TYPE, MSI, MINE SUBSIDENCE, ?
ect....
You can see that When I perform a desc or asc sort on the SYS DESC column I get these results, which are not correct.
104 COREP COMPLAINT LETTER COMPLAINTS COMPLAINTS TRACKING
105 EMTYPEMPLOYEE POSITION COMPLAINTS COMPLAINTS TRACKING ?
10 STRFF PAM PAR MSI MINE SUBSIDENCE ?
146 FATYP FACILITY TYPES AIMSBAQ AIR INFORMATION MANAGEMENT ?
14 PLOID OWNER TYPES MSI MINE SUBSIDENCE ?
You can see that the sys description column is not in alphabetical order. Any ideas why? If I sort that column using a tool on the database it will sort correctly, but htmldb will not sort it correctly? You also can see that it did sort the ID column as I described in my previous post. The sys description column is varchar2 and contains no numeric values.

Sort order in Paragraph Catalog inconsistent / incorrect

b Problem Description:
Sort order of paragraph styles INCONSISTENT/INCORRECT when compared to standard alphabetical sort. From the Paragraph Catalog, or when I select F9, styles starting with "1a_" sort before styles starting with "1_". If a table with the style names is sorted, "1_" comes before "1a_".
This sort order worked correctly in FM7.2. In FM8.x, it started sorting incorrectly. Our template was designed based on the standard sort order for characters, which somehow changed starting in FM8.x.
b Steps to Reproduce:
Generated a list of para styles in our template, converted to table, sorted, and compared to the Paragraph Catalog.
b Actual Result:
1a_Heading1_NoTOC
b out of order
1k_Title_Kit
b out of order
1_Heading1
1_Heading1TOC
2a_Heading2_NoTOC

I have the same problem. I've lost track now of the number of times where I've assigned the wrong paragraph style to something since switching to FM8. The styles are no longer in the same order, so my level 1 heading is no longer the first tag that comes up when I press F9. Now I have to dig for it through other tags that start with the number 1 in our catalog.
Our paragraph tags were developed years ago, and it wasn't until FM8 that there was a problem with the sort order. The characters no longer sort the same as Windows sorts. An underscore is supposed to come before all letters and numbers. Adobe, please fix this annoying bug!!!

Error: The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect

When processing a measure group with a distinct count measure in it, i get the following error:
"The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect."
I have no idea what this means - any ideas?

I had the same problem and your fix worked. In more detail, the problematic field was contract_no. I added a named calculation to the table in the Data Source View with the formula CHECKSUM(contract_no). Then I created the distinct count measure on that named calculation. And, lo and behold, the errors disappeared!
Thank you to Frank.

Sort order for photos synched from Aperture

I have synched photos from Aperture to the Apple TV, but the sort order when shown on Apple TV is not the same as the sort order in Aperture. Does anyone have an idea about which metadata field in Aperture is being used by Apple TV to determine the sort?

Hi this is my first append to Apple support so things may go pear shaped...
I have the same problem as you describe and have discovered that the order appears to be consistent with the file NAME order (as seen in Finder) This is not the camera file name but the version name I gave it when I imported the file into Aperture. I then exported the album to the desktop and streamed it to Appletv. (iTunes #count/album is sometimes wrong)
Given a file list of say 40 files, the new (incorrect Appletv re-sorted) order follows a pattern based on the FIRST numeric decimal digit in the filename!
Example - I have a folder containing 40 consecutive images - the new order these images will be displayed by Appletv will be as follows
1 10[...]19 2 20[...]29 3 31[...]39 4 40 5 6 7 8 9
I've proved this by photographing 40 separate image files each one showing a number in the range of 1 to 40 as an individual image. These are in order by number (as appears in the image) & file number assigned by the camera, and also therefore by file date time. I imported them into Aperture and assigned them the Version name of 'Number' + sequence.
So, when I view image file #1 named 'Number 1 of 40' I see the number '1' and the EXIF tells me it was taken at 28/07/2007 13:33:16 BDT. Similarly when I view image file #40 named 'Number 40 of 40' I see the number '40' and the EXIF tells me it was taken at 28/07/2007 13:37:34 BDT.
I CAN CHANGE the order Appletv displays these by renaming them - eg change file name 'Number 10 of 40' to 'Number 41 of 40' makes it appear at the end. The sequence now becomes 1 11-19 etc 40 41. Nothing else appears to have changed.
I've since found that a separate burn of different files(29) using Toast followed the same pattern.
Since starting this append iTunes has the added the album of 40 numbers to its list and I have just viewed them on Atv slideshow. Bizarrely the order is different again - 3,5,2,4,1,10,13,15,6,11,14,7,8,12,9,32,17,33,26,22,23,28,18,29,20,24,35,16,21,3 1,19,25,30,34,27,37,38,40,39,36. Random is off. Please can we have a fix for this or at least a workaround.
Thanks.

Sort order column with a between filter

Hi all,
[using OBI-EE version 10.1.3.3.1]
I've got a column 'BLOCK_ROW' which contains values A,B,C....AA,AB,AC...BA,BB...FK,FL
Alphabetically this orders A,AA,AB.... which is incorrect. The order should be A,B,C...
To be able to sort correctly we added a column 'ROW_SORT' to our model, which is numeric. This column is set as the 'sort order column' in the repository and makes sure the sorting is done correctly.
So far, so good...
Now, I want to be able to use a 'between' filter on this column, e.g. between 'A' and 'C'. Unfortunately this returns A,B,C,AA,AB... while I want it to return A,B,C.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Elio
Generated SQL:
select distinct T91353.BLOCK_ROW as c1,
T91353.ROW_SORT as c2
from
<table_name> T91353
where ( T91353.BLOCK_ROW between 'A' and 'C' )
order by c2
--> Sorting handled based on ROW_SORT, between filter not :(

That will only do the trick in this particular example. Between 'A' and 'AA' will fail again and only returns A and AA while it should return A..Z and AA.
Using extra filters is always possible but I'm looking for a more robust solution, which also allows for dashboard 'between' prompts based on this column.
A workaround I came up with is to add a calculated field which concats an '_' in front of the single 'digit' values. This results in: A,B,_C,.....,AA,AB....FL. This set can be ordered alphabetically and this will work for now.
In the future, however, it might happen that the order of the letters will completely change. In the datamodel this can be achieved by changing the order of the numbers in ROW_SORT.
Example dataset:
BLOCK_ROW | ROW_SORT
Q | 1
D | 2
F | 3
AA | 4
A | 5
The filter 'between D and AA' should then result in D,F,AA.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Elio

Sort Order in a Legend

Good Day to All,
I have a couple of chart in a Report. I'm a little confused how to correct a order how the data is represented in a legend.
In some of the charts the legend is correct
2012
2013
2014
but on some charts the legend is incorrect
2013
2014
2012
another example is
on some charts the legend is correct
Qtr 1
Qtr 2
Qtr 3
Qtr 4
on other charts the legend is incorrect
Qtr 3
Qtr 4
Qtr 1
Qtr 2
Is there a property where I can control the order of the legend.
Crystal Reports XI 11.5.0.313

Good Abhilash,
Thanks again you always come through. Who ever created these charts did them as a group template so if I change the sort it may correct the one but upset another. Is there a way to change one chart a time without changing the group template? When I click chart expert there is a option. Applied to group template or Applied to this instance. If I choose applied to this instance the Data tab is not present, therefore I can't change the sort order. Any thought suggestions?

Changing sort order in iTunes does not change order on iPad

If you create a new playlist (not a smart playlist) in iTunes, you can get the songs to order according to the track number or the name of the song or the size etc. It used to be that this selected sort order would be reflected in the corresponding playlists on the iPhone/iPad
This doesn't seem to work using iTunes 10.6, iTunes Match and iOS 5.1 on my iPad 2.
1. I create a new playlist in iTunes and name it Test.
2. I sort this playlist by the Name column, so that the songs are in the A to Z order (Fernando, SOS, Waterloo)
3. The new playlist appears on my iPad.
4. The iPad playlist lists the songs in the order selected in iTunes.
Now, back in iTunes, I click on the Name column again, so the names are now sorted in reverse. That is, from Z to A (Waterloo, SOS, Fernando). I also rename the playlist to Test 2 so that I know that the same playlist has been updated on my iPad.
So the playlist Test 2 is now ordered by the song name from Z to A in iTunes. However, the playlist on the iPad does NOT reflect the new sort order. It is still ordered A to Z, not Z to A as I expected.
5. Now I create a new playlist named Test 3. I open Test 2 (still in the order Z to A) and copy the songs to Test 3.
6. The new playlist named Test 3 appears on the iPad.
7. The songs are in the correct order.
8. Change the order again in the playlist.
9. The change in the order is NOT reflected on the iPad.
Grrr. I quit the Music app (including the background process on the iPad) and launch it again. But the order of the songs in Test 2 is still not the same as in iTunes.
Totally frustrated, I do the following:
1. Quit all apps running in the background on the iPad.
2. Go to Settings and turn off iTunes Match.
3. Log out of the iTunes store.
4. Restart my iPad so that the playlists disappear from my Music app.
5. Turn iTunes Match back on.
6. Log back into the Store.
7. Wait for the iCloud to sync.
8. Playlist Test 2 is still in the incorrect order! This is unbelievable.
I have tried the Right-Click 'Copy to Play Order' trick that I read about in another post but it doesn't help.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance.

This isn't an issue of putting songs on that I don't want, it's that it doesn't CHANGE my music, even when I try to make it change. I've got over 15000 songs in my iTunes; my iPod can only hold around 275 songs. My problem, is that I can't make it "randomly" choose different songs. when I try to change the music, it puts the same songs on over and over.
Emphasis here is on RANDOM: I do not want to have to select the music to put on my shuffle. and
CHANGE: If I only wanted to listen to the same 275 songs, I wouldn't have bothered purchasing the others...

Crystal reports graph sort order

I have 2 fields called fiscal year and fiscal month.
Expected sort order - sample values:
Fiscal year     Fiscal Month
2011     5
2011     5
2011     6
2011     7
2011     8
2011     9
2011     10
2011     11
2011     12
2012     1
2012     2
2012     3
2012     4
2012     5
2012     5
Current sort order- shows up incorrectly by default
Fiscal Year Fiscal Month
2011          10
2011          5
2011          6
2012         12
I will be using these values in a graph and I created a new formula column called time PEriod that I will be in the
x axis of my graph (mid({query.fiscal_mth_nbr1},1,3)) . the output of this formula is Oct,Nov, Dec,Jan,....Oct
Without the year, but it still needs to be sorted in the first sample values order , since fiscal year starts in Jun and ends
in July. We are now in fiscal year 2012 , fiscal month 6
I tried sorting the value inside crystal reports by going to design view and applying sort. But it does not take the
sort order. Can you please suggest the best way to keep the sort order. The data is coming from a universe and I even tried
to sort the data from the universe by using order by, but the database would not let me use order by that in a derived table within the universe.
Edited by: developerbo1 on Nov 14, 2011 7:19 PM

hello,
the best way to get the correct dynamic sort is by using a two digit month in your conversion. for example
totext({table.datefield}, 'yyyyMM')

WHERE clause affects sort order???

Hi,
I'm playing around with linguistic sorting and comparing and was using the examples from
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/ch5lingsort.htm#g1018324
So I have the three entries Große, große and Grosse in my table (the sample data from the manual)
To test these features, I did
alter session set nls_comp = Linguistic;
alter session set nls_sort = XGerman_CI; and ran the following select statement:
SELECT name
FROM words
ORDER BY 1;The rows are then returned in the following order:
Große
große
Grosse
which is exactly what I expect.
When I run
SELECT name
FROM words
WHERE name = 'Grosse'; it returns all three rows which is expected as well.
When I add the ORDER BY (which is the same ORDER BY as in the first step):
SELECT name
FROM words
WHERE name = 'Grosse'
ORDER BY 1; the rows are returned in the following order
Große
Grosse
große
which is different to the order without the WHERE clause (and wrong)
The question is: why does the WHERE clause affect the ordering?

I'm not sure why you think the third sort order is incorrect. In English, the capitals will sort before the lower case leaving both "G" values before the "g". I don't know where the special ... German? ... character will appear but assume that ORDER BY is sorting correctly. If not you need to contact Oracle and open a support ticket.
WHERE clauses will affect how data comes back by influencing index use, but some of what they do will be random. The only way to be sure data will be returned in a certain order is to use an ORDER BY clause.
In particular, in 10g the parallel query option is notorious for returnding data in random order. Where in 9i an indexed lookup would tend to return data in an imaginary sorted order the same query using PQO in 10g often returns data in random order.

In our web site the product sort order under our categories are random with Firefox but IE, Chrome is alright, any ideas?

The sort order of products under our categories on our web site is random with Firefox, but the categories with products are in the correct order with IE, Chrome, etc. This incorrect order with Firefox occurs on various computers, i.e. Windows 7, XP, etc. and is not consistent. To make matters worse, sometimes it is random with Firefox and then returns to being correctly sorted but IE, Chrome, etc. are always in the correct order.

Works fine here for me, even after refreshing.
