Is it possible to change sort order?
This is a feature request of sorts, and I'm not sure how best to explain the behavior I'm looking for. I'm using eog
41.1 on Fedora 35 (admittedly on sway
, not GNOME).
Given a directory full of pictures with differing basename lengths, e.g.
$ ls -l
total 504
-rw-rw-r--. 1 kalvin kalvin 71809 Feb 13 00:54 foo-0100.jpg
-rw-rw-r--. 1 kalvin kalvin 71809 Feb 13 00:54 foo-0101.jpg
-rw-rw-r--. 1 kalvin kalvin 71809 Feb 13 00:31 foo-010.jpg
-rw-rw-r--. 1 kalvin kalvin 71809 Feb 13 00:54 foo-0110.jpg
-rw-rw-r--. 1 kalvin kalvin 71809 Feb 13 00:53 foo-011.jpg
-rw-rw-r--. 1 kalvin kalvin 71809 Feb 13 00:53 foo-012.jpg
-rw-rw-r--. 1 kalvin kalvin 71809 Feb 13 00:55 foo-020.jpg
I would like for eog
to go through them in the order shown above, where the suffix isn't strongly numeric.
What actually happens is that eog
appears to interpret the suffixes numerically. It will present them in the order
foo-010.jpg
foo-011.jpg
foo-012.jpg
foo-020.jpg
foo-0100.jpg
foo-0101.jpg
foo-0110.jpg
Which is marvelous, but which works against me for my use case. Is there a quick way around this? E.g. a hidden advanced preference or an environment variable?
