Sort order in sidebar

[anmith]

Hi,

is there any way to change the sort order in the sidebar?

I have a folder with files named: a-1-b a-2-b … a-10-b a-11-b …

While the GNOME file-manager sorts them as

a-1-b
a-2-b
…
a-10-b
a-11-b
…

the Sublime Text sidebar sorts them as

a-1-b
a-10-b
a-11-b
…
a-2-b

I know both sort orders are correct, but I’d love to change the sorting to the way the GNOME file manager does it.

This is currently not possible but there is an open feature request for it:

Issue: Sidebar Sort Options

Long time feature request! Semantic sorting! I’d be wonderful. And I think most of the modern operating systems interfaces show them so.

@kingkeith Thanks for pointing me to the feature request - but after seeing it is open for 10+ years I don’t have much hope it will be added.
