[rox-users] Filer sort-by-name problem

[Anthony D. <or...@no...>]

Hello,

I have a directory full of subdirs that are named in the format YYYYMMDD* 
(for example, "20031120-cat-photos", "20031121-snowstorm", etc).  They are 
named that way because that keeps them in chronological order.  However, if 
I use xes for the DD portion of the date, then that folder gets sorted to 
the very top of the list, before the 2002 and 2001 dirs:

200311xx-cat-photos
20010305-something-else
20020925-another-dir
20031101-it-should-be-here-ish

The ls command doesn't sort that way; it sorts per-character (logically), so 
200311xx will go with the rest of the 200311* dirs.  Is there a way to make 
Filer sort this correctly?

Thanks,
Anthony
