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?

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. Otherwise you'll just be excluded and ignored.

  • 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".

  • Wrong sort order for rapid sequences of images

    When I have a sequence of shots taken at high speed, i.e. a number of them have the same timestamp, being taken within the same second, I find that LR displays some of them out of order. For instance, I have a sequence of 5 frames all with timestamp 9/4/07 2:17:32pm and the file names show up in this order - 1740, 1742, 1741, 1743, 1744 (these are the file names assigned by the camera)
    The frames show in this order with any of the sort order options selected except, of course, File Name, and in that one instance they display in the correct order.
    Is there a way I can specify in LR that I want to sort in Capture Time order then within that in file name order? This would give me the result I want. The reason I don't want to simply use file name order is that with images from different cameras with differing file naming conventions, or with file names I may have applied, that would not give me correct time sequence as shot. I want to see a whole day's images in correct time sequence regardless of file name.
    If there is not a way to specify this in LR, should I add this to the Feature Request list?

    Capture Time and Import Order do the same thing.
    Additional information - I see the same wrong sequence is presented in the import dialog when I try to import the same photos again (they happen to still be on the card). So, I think it is initially caused by the order that the camera lays down the photos in the file structure on the card, or in the way that Windows reads them off the disk. (I have a Canon EOS 30D, SanDisk CF card, using a card reader rather than plugging the camera to the PC.)
    If I use the import dialog's renaming process (in my test I chose filename - sequence) and apply a sequence number to the images the sequence number ends up wrong. So LR is importing the photos in the wrong order (may not be LR's fault?)
    So, this modifies the definition of the problem and of the feature request. No longer is it simply the sort order displayed in the library; it needs to be addressed at import time as well.
    Here is my attempt to redefine the feature request:
    - when importing images that are taken in rapid sequence (multiple shots within the same second) LR should allow for sorting the images by camera-derived file name to correct out-of-sequence delivery from the card/camera. This sort order, when selected, should re-arrange the preview thumbnails so the photographer can verify the images will be imported in the correct order.

  • Wrong sort order

    iPhoto recently began reordering photos on its own. This started about the time I moved my library of photos from my old G5 to my new MacPro Quad Core. I have View/Sort Photos/ set to Manually for one of my albums and I've been adding photos to the end, the bottom of the album in thumbnail view once they've been imported. The next time I open iPhoto those and others added recently are at the top of the page, at the beginning of the thumbnails.
    I'm thinking that whatever file it is that keeps track of the sort order may be corrupted. Does that sound right? Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
    Thanks.

    Thank you.
    Actually there is no such exact option. There is a Repair the Database option, and one marked Rebuild the Database from the automatic backup. they are two separate options. Since I wasn't sure of the health of the automatic backup I selected Repair the Database. I've quite and restarted iPhoto a couple times. The first time I had to reorder one of the recently added photos. After that things seemed OK. I'll consider the problem solved, at least for now.
    Thank you so much!

  • "View- Sort Photos- By Title" produces WRONG sorting order!

    Hello,
    I have a set of pictures named Scan 1.jpg, Scan 2.jpg, Scan 3.jpg, etc... up to Scan 102.jpg
    They all belong to the same "Event" in iPhoto.
    When I am inside that Event, I need them to be sorted by their name (Scan 1, Scan 2, Scan 3, etc).
    So I choose the option: View->Sort Photos->By Title
    However, that shows pictures in the wrong order, as follows: Scan 1, Scan 10, Scan 100, Scan 101, Scan 102, Scan 11, Scan 12, Scan 13, etc, Scan 19, Scan 2, Scan 20, Scan 21, Scan 21, etc... The logic is clear but it is wrong!
    Finder recognizes the correct order of files, named in such way, so why doesn't iPhoto?!
    Please suggest if you have any solutions OTHER than renaming the original files to Scan 001, Scan 002, etc. I assume that would work, but I really would hate to spend time on renaming. There must be an easier way. I am surprised that iPhoto makes this mistake in the first place - I remember coming across this issue during Windows Explorer times. When I switched to Mac it was a pleasant surprise that Finder understands in such situations that the order should be 1, 2 3, 4, 5 etc and not 1, 10, 100, 11, 110, 111, 12, etc. What a disappointment to bump into that bug in iPhoto! I hope there is a solution. Please advise!
    Thanks everyone in advance.

    That's been an issue with several apps for a while. You can batch rename the titles in iPhoto using the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Title to Text menu option with the check box checked to add a sequential number to each photo.

    You can always revert back to the original file name using the same menu option.

  • Wrong sort order for Photos taken in rapid sequence

    Hi!
    I have a number of Photos that are taken on the same second. These show up in what appear to be random order in the organizer. Is there any workaround for this, let´s say by first sorting on timestamp and then by file name (if timestamp is equal).
    This must be a common problem with todays cameras taking a lot of photos in rapid sequence, but just timestaming them with a resolution of one second.
    Please help!
    Cheers!
    / Håkan

    Thanks for the proposal, and yes, I could fix the problem in a number of ways, for instance by changing the timestamp of the pictures.
    But as I see it, PSE 7 should have a built in feature for handling this issue. Frankly, handling this automatically should be one of the most basic features of the organiser. Any modern digital camera have the possibility to take several shots per second.
    Please Adobe, fix this !

  • How do I change the mailmerge sort order

    When I want to send a Mail Merge using Pages to read an Address Book Group sorted by Surname, the resulting merge is produced sorted by First Name. This means every Merge has to be manually sorted, which is time consuming and wrong.
    A merge letter I have used successfully for over three years, every time sorted by Surname, now produces the wrong sort order and cannot be changed. If I change the sort order in Address Book Preferences from Surname to First Name and back again the behaviour is unchanged. If I change the Sort order to "by First Name" it stays the same. Nothing seems to reassert the correct sorting order ie by Surname.
    How do I change it?
    TIA

    Basilisk,
    Numbers will Mail Merge to Pages in the order of the Rows in the Numbers database. I always use Numbers for merging to Pages because I like the control it gives me of the order of printing but also because of the simplicity and versatility of controlling the content.
    It couldn't be easier to move your data from Contacts/AddressBook to Numbers. Here are the simple steps:
    In Contacts/AddressBook, Create a Group for your friends or clients that you wish to use with Mail Merge. Drag all the relevant subjects into that Group. (You probably have already done this.)
    In Numbers, Create a new document and delete any default Table that appears in it.
    Arrange your Desktop so you can see your Group list in Contacts and your new blank Numbers Sheet at the same time.
    Drag your Contacts Group to your blank Numbers Sheet, creating a Table in Numbers with all the data of your contacts. You won't see all the data right away because some of it is in Hidden Columns.
    Click on a cell in your Numbers Table to activate the table and Hover your mouse pointer over a column label tab in the Numbers Table. Click the menu triangle and Select: UnHide all Columns.
    Now you can see all the data and can proceed with organizing it into the order you want the merge to have.
    Remember to Save your organized Numbers document before you begin to setup the merge links in Pages. Save the Numbers document each time you make changes to it, prior to doing a Mail Merge.

  • Sort order in list wrong: in CAML and in view

    Hello,
    When I order my list with document sets by ID, the order is wrong. It is wrong in the list and with caml.
    This is my view (I just set the sort on the ID column):
    The first 4 objects are created by the Client Object Model; the last 4 are created by a SharePoint webpart that I developped myself...
    My code for creating document sets in COM is something like this:
    ListItemCreationInformation newItemInfo = new ListItemCreationInformation
    UnderlyingObjectType = FileSystemObjectType.Folder,
    LeafName = _strLeafname // = date in format YYYYMMDDhhmmss
    ListItem newListItem = myList.AddItem(newItemInfo);
    newListItem["ContentTypeId"] = targetDocumentSetContentType.Id.ToString();
    newListItem["Title"] = title;
    newListItem.Update();
    clientContext.Load(myList);
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
    The code in the webpart is this:
    SPContentType docsetCt = myLst.ContentTypes[p.GetFromResourcefile("xxxxxxxxxxxxxx")];
    Hashtable properties = new Hashtable
    {"DocumentSetDescription", ""},
    {"Title", txtTitle.Text}
    SPFolder parentFolder = myLst.RootFolder;
    int newId = GetLastId(myLst) + 1;
    DocumentSet ds = DocumentSet.Create(parentFolder, newId.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), docsetCt.Id, properties, true);
    ds.Item["Title"] = title
    ds.Item.Update();
    why is the sort order wrong?
    if i do this query in the U2U Caml builder, the order is also wrong
    <OrderBy><FieldRef Name='ID' Ascending='FALSE' /></OrderBy>
    if i order by "created", the order is also wrong....
    i don't get it....

    Document Sets are great tools for grouping multiple documents together. However, if every set has exactly one document, it would be better to just upload the file and not place it within a Document Set:
    Uploading documents using object model - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms454491(v=office.14).aspx
    Uploading documents using web services -
    http://cecildt.blogspot.com/2010/10/upload-documents-to-sharepoint-2010.html
    If you have requirements to use Document Sets, keep in mind that this adds a layer of complexity beyond a simple Document Library. Behind the scenes, each Document Set is treated as a separate folder, and although can you query items within it, there might
    be extra steps for getting the sort order to ignore the folder structure. Can you try setting the Scope to be "Recursive" and also specify that you are looking only for files and not folders:
    <Eq><FieldRef Name='FSObjType'/><Value Type='Lookup'>1</Value></Eq></Where>

  • Photo sort order is wrong on my ipad

    The sort order is fine on my mac mini, but it's not on my ipad ipod touch or my iphone, the photos don't have the correct sequence, they're all messed up...

    Sort order where? What verson of iPhoto are you running on your Mac?  I understand that the sort order on a phone or iPad is strictly date related and in iPhoto's albums they can be manually, by title, etc.

  • Sort Order Wrong on Curve 9360

    In the Contacts application, I changed the sort to be ordered by Last Name.  So now, instead of being ordered as:
    Adam Smith
    Alice Jones
    It lists them as:
    Smith, Adam
    Jones, Alice
    In other words, it is showing the last names first, which is what I want, but it is still sorting by the first name, what I do not want.  Anyone know if this is a flaw of the OS or am I missing something in the configuration options or what?  Any assistance is appreciated. :-)

    What sort order do you have selecting in the sort drop-down?  There is no "correct" sort order.  You can sort on any metadata you can show in the Browser.  The sort drop-down is located in the top border of the Browser, near the left corner.  Every container in Aperture retains the sort order it last had.  When you manually move an Image in the Browser, the sort order is changed to "Manual".

  • The Sort order for a playlist created on my MB Pro is wrong on my iPad. Can I fix this?

    When I create a playlist on my MB Pro I cannot guarantee that the playlist will be in the same sort order on my iPad. It is on my MB Air, but not on my iPad. Does anyone know why? How can I correct this?
    This is important with classical music where the order of the tracks may be critical.

    Try deselecting Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync which should remove all music from your iPhone. Follow this by reselecting Sync Music and your selections below followed by another sync to re-transfer the music.

  • Sort Order in Smart Playlist iTunes 9.1

    Now that I've upgraded to 9.1 I am finding that the sort order is gone wrong in Smart Playlists. What is happening is that artists are being sorted by their first name rather than by their last name regardless of what I have entered in Sort Artist field.
    However, the sort works as it should in the Library list.
    So, using Paul McCartney as an example; I have in the Artist field *Paul McCartney*, in the Sort Artist field I have *McCartney Paul*. When I view my music in the Library list he is sorted under M. But when I view my music in a Smart Playlist he is sorted under P.

    First give the list a "kick" by sorting by some other fields, closing and reopening iTunes, and then sorting again by Artist.
    Also look at the Sorting tab and make sure the tracks do not have data that could be interfering with the Sort Artist, namely Sort Album Artist.
    If neither of those helps, you have probably discovered a bug in 9.1, which you can report here:

  • ATV 4.4.2 photo sort order problem

    I have just updated my Apple TV (I believe it is now 4.4.2)
    When I view my photo albums, the sort order is not the same as that in my iPhoto.
    It was before the update.
    I resorted the albums again in iPhoto, they look just right on my MBP.  They also look exactly the way I wanted it on my iPad2 and my iPod.  But on Apple TV, it's all wrong again.
    I have invited friends over this weekend for a presentation that I want to show them slides on the Apple TV.  I am dead meat now.  Please advise.
    Thank you in advance.
    Eddie

    I did some additional testing using my Apple TV (1st generation) and my Windows 7 computer, and this is what I found.
    (This likely applies to iPad/iPod/iPhone too).
    Apple TV displays photos in order of their "Date Created" file attribute.
    If the "Date Created" file attribute of all photos in an album is identical, then Apple TV displays the photos in alphabetical order.
    This I what I do to make sure that Apple TV displays photos in the order I want them to be in:
    First, I arrange photos in the order I want them to be in. For this, I use Google Picasa, but one could also use FastStone Image Viewer, or any similar tool.
    Then, I bulk rename all the photos, so that their file names are in alphabetical order. I do this from within Picasa, but there are many other freeware file rename tools one could use for this.
    Next, I bulk change the "Date Created" file attribute of the photo files, so that they all have an identical one. For this, I use BatchTouch, freeware available for Windows and Mac.
    Finally, I open iTunes, and sync the photos to my Apple TV.
    Note: if they photos were already synced to your Apple TV before you perform the steps above, you may need to this beforehand:
    Open iTunes on your PC, and make sure that the correct photo folder is selected for syncing to your device.
    Using Windows Explorer, navigate to this folder.
    Within it, locate a subfolder called “iPod Photo Cache” ("iPad Photo Cache for iPad syncing) and delete it.

  • Sort order in Java application (oc4j container) -- ear file deployment

    I have a Java application deploy in Oracle OC4J container (EAR file).
    In my Java application (jsp), I have a SQL statement who return data but the
    sort order is wrong. The letters "é" and all characters with accents
    appears at the end of the result.
    I tried many things to change the sort order (NLS parameters in database
    and OAS10g parameter files).
    When I use SQL*plus on database server, that's working.
    The sort order is wrong when I use the java application.
    Somebody can tell me what and where is the NLS parameters to change ?

    Robin,
    I'm only guessing, but it could either be related to the java locale or the CHARSET attribute of the HTML header -- and nothing to do with the NLS parameters.
    Maybe you should try the Globalization Support forum?
