Unexpected Sort Order by Title

Open tlrand opened this issue 4 months ago • 0 comments

Description

FSNotes doesn't not follow system standards for sorting alphanumeric titles - at least for US English localization. In Finder and other applications, numeric substrings are sorted numerically. In FSNotes this is not done. For example, a title of "2" coming after "11" in an ascending sorted view.

To Reproduce

Create a test folder with sort by title as the sort setting. Create notes with alphanumeric titles. Sort order is not as expected.

Expected behavior

Finder as well as other apps sorts titles treating numeric substrings as meaningful and gives expected sort order. Numbers should be sorted in a strict increasing order.

FSNotes version

Version 6.10.2 (660)

macOS/iOS version

15.6.1 (24G90)

Additional context

I do not know if this is a localized behavior and perhaps correct in some regions, but clearly in US English it is not the expected result.

Thanks for such an amazing app!
