Explorer-like filename sorting

[nurbles]

Since XP, Windows Explorer has "correctly" sorted filenames containing numbers, for example:

program_1.log
program_2.log
program_10.log

but V is still doing simple string sorting, making traversing a series of files difficult at times.

You need to enable Use XP (numerical) sort method from the Options submenu of the main View menu.

Oops, sorry. Too many options for my tiny attention span, apparently.

Thanks!

I think I thanked a bit too soon... It appears that the XP Numerical Sort option doesn't work correctly/reliably. At least not under Win 7 x64. I'm attaching a screen cap showing that the option is checked, but files aren't sorted correctly. I think the feature only works if the file name is the PRIMARY sort key, but is not used when the file name is a secondary sort key as my example shows. The XP Numerical sort should be used on file names any time that they are used as a sort key, primary, secondary or whatever.
