Re: Sort Problem

[Use intuitive filename sorting - when enabled, Explorer will sort files so that, for example, File 5 comes before File 10. Disabled, Explorer will use literal sorting, in which case File 10 will come before File 5, because 1 comes before 5 (literal sorting used to be Windows default behaviour before Windows XP)].

Download and install -TweakUI 2.10 [If you have the old TweakUI installed, you must uninstall it before installing the new one]

I just went to WinXP and now my sort of files w/n a directory is screwy in both Windows Explorer and Powerdesk. When I view a file in Detail View and then click on NAME to sort it, it does not sort like it did in Win98. This is an example of file name order:
6 byt..
15-1994
721 pv..
1994 ex..
1994.zip. I'm not sure, but it seems like only the files starting with a numerics are out of sync. Cant find any settings to change anything to do with sorting.
