Ordering of files/folders

[dylandhall]

Looking in the code there's a comment suggesting the files/folders come pre-ordered from the OS but the ordering seems strange.

It seems to be alphabetical, but with all capital letters being ranked higher than lower case letters..

Powershell in windows:

Bash in ubuntu (WSL2):

At least it's consistent but it might be nice to optionally allow internal sorting, making it case insensitive.

Just to add to this, I'd also prefer to see folders above files, but that's a nice-to-have

We can add such option.

We can add such option.
Hi @antonmedv, I have added this enhancement and submitted a PR.

looks like the PR was closed without merge or comment?

perhaps use the same command line switches that eza uses?? Allows users to easily switch or co-exist. here is the --sort option from the eza man page:

Which field to sort by.

Valid sort fields are name', Name', extension', Extension', size', modified', changed', accessed', created', inode', type', and none'.

The modified sort field has the aliases date', time', and newest', and its reverse order has the aliases age' and `oldest'.

Sort fields starting with a capital letter will sort uppercase before lowercase: A' then B' then a' then b'. Fields starting with a lowercase letter will mix them: A' then a' then B' then b'.
