I have a camera that names files with hexadecimal digits (not sure why, but that's a different question). When I download the files to my Kubuntu PC and open the directory with Dolphin, the order is "unexpected".
For example, let's say I have the following files (extensions dropped for simplicity) created by the camera in this order:
- mov001
- mov002
- mov00A
- mov010
- mov01A
Dolphin sorts them out as such:
- mov00A
- mov001
- mov01A
- mov002
- mov010
I find this very strange; e.g., why would mov002 or mov010 come after mov01A?
On the other hand, if I do ls in Bash, they appear in the expected order.
What confused me even further is that Dolphin will make the following sorting choices:
- 1 (literally, a file named just "1")
- 2
- A
but
- 00A
- 001
- 002
So, how does sorting work exactly?
