Folder No Longer alphabetized
« on: July 25, 2012, 12:19:23 PM »
Howdy!
I have one folder with 60 subfolders on a NAS. It is no longer in alphabetical order. All the folders are in alphabetical order on the tree and all the subfolders in the other folders are alphabetical order, it's just the subfolders in the one folder that are not alphabetized. Any suggestions what I goofed and how to fix it?
Thanks

What OS are you running?  What version of Photo Mechanic are you running?

OK, well if you were on PM 5 then I would wonder if my sorting algorithm weren't working correctly.  But since you're on PM 4.6.x and it does not have any adjustments for sorting, I can say that all folders/sub-folders are sorted the same, so I'm guessing that something has happened on the NAS itself to those sub-folder names.

Are they just completely random?  Do they sort any better in an instance of Windows Explorer's folder tree?

sorting it totally random, that folder is normal in the Explorer Tree

Is there a 5 for Win? I thought it was just 4.6.9

Thanks

PM 5 is in beta testing at this time.

Could you post a screen shot of what the directory tree looks like in PM 4.6.9?  Use the 'Attachments and other options' link when you're composing your reply to this message and there you'll be able to upload your JPEG format screenshot.

Thanks,
