This affects order by Type, ascending alphabetic order. I tried with order by Size and it seems to be working fine.
To reproduce this:
- Open a new instance of Xfe
- Ctrl+F for Search
- Close the Search window
- Ctrl+R for refresh
And voilà! listing is now random, even though it still shows as "Type ▼".
Xfe 2.1.1
Sorry, I can't reproduce the issue. Could you try again with a fresh Xfe profile and detailed steps? When opening Xfe, what is the sorted column?
close all instances of xfe
mv xferc xferc.bak
xfe
open /tmp (just because it has enough files; or stay in $HOME and show hidden files)
set to "Type ▼"
Ctrl+F
Ctrl+W / or click "x"
Ctrl+R
Listing is not sorted by type anymore, even though it still shows as "Type ▼". I think it's now sorted by extension.
Fixed in Xfe 2.1.2.
