Feature description
(Forwarded from https://github.com/FossifyOrg/File-Manager/issues/122#event-14496575230 )
The option labels "ascending" and "descending" should change depending on the property being sorted by. Because otherwise, it would be unclear on what "ascending" means when it comes to date sorting.
- By name: "0 to 9, A to Z" and "Z to A, 9 to 0"
- By size: "Small to large" and "Large to small"
- By last modified: "Oldest to newest" and "Newest to oldest"
- By extension: same as by name
Why do you want this feature?
Usability improvement (see description).
Additional information
The issue was found in Fossify File Manager 1.0.1, but there are suggestions that this feature request should apply to all Fossify apps.
