Irfanview's "sort by name" and "sort by name XP style" display images in a different order than Windows Explorer's sort by name does.
This is a problem because when I open a folder containing many image files with Windows Explorer and then open an individual image in that folder with Irfanview, going to the "next" file in the directory with Irfanview goes to a different file than the one shown next in Windows Explorer.
For example, let's say the following I have the following files displayed in a folder in windows explorer, "sorted by name". They appear in the following order:
4a 1.bmp
4a.jpg
19.jpg
90.jpg
123.jpg
1223.jpg
But I can't get Irfanview to display the images in this order. If I set Irfanview to "sort by name ascending", they are ordered as:
1223.jpg
123.jpg
19.jpg
4a 1.bmp
4a.jpg
90.jpg
If I instead tell Irfanview to "sort by name ascending, XP style", they are ordered as:
4a.jpg
4a 1.bmp
19.jpg
90.jpg
123.jpg
1223.jpg
This is *close* to the way windows explorer in windows 7 sorts files, but not exactly the same (4a and 4a 1 are switched).
My question is: Is there any way to get Irfanview to order files in the exact same way that windows explorer in Windows 7 does?
Thank You.
