Description rwt 2012-10-05 14:48:03 UTC

I know this is not of the extreme importance, but it would be nice I there was an ability to sort the files shown in a project by filename WITHOUT the extension.

Meaning that, currently the following files are sorted as such:
class.admin.panel.php
class.admin.php
class.admin.section.php

But a more logical structure would be:

class.admin.php
class.admin.panel.php
class.admin.section.php

Cheers

I don't completely follow.. class.admin.panel.php and company are packages/folders or files?

Comment 2 rwt 2012-10-05 14:52:46 UTC

They are files. The natural sorting order is wrong as it takes in account the file extension

usage of dots in the file name is crucial here. works according to your expectations otherwise, see screenshot
