to the list: I think there's still more to this issue than what
already said. In detail, answering both to Sudhir and Roger (thanks
for your quick answers!)

Dolphin is sorting those files on basis of the biggest to the smallest
number first. 196511 is the biggest number and 1961 is the smallest. I
couldn't find much about Dolphin's sorting heuristics in the handbook.
Maybe talking to Dolphin guys could help you in someway.

The only way I found was to have folders: a_somename, aa_somename,
b_somename,
c_somename and so on and in the folders name the images 0001.jpg, to
0009.jpg
then 0010.jpg to 0019.jpg and so on, so the folders sort on the first
letter
and the contained images sort numerically. This way I could re order
the slide
images by renumbering or putting an a or b in the file name 0009a.jpg
and
0009b.jpg... Don't know if that helps but it's the only way... messy
but effective
first, to clarify my first post: my __final__ goal is exactly to rename
and
rearrange those pictures in folders as Roger suggests. The problem is
just that
the "wrong" name sorting rule used here makes it very difficult and slow
to spot
what pictures should go in the same folders. Being pictures, I can
realize that
1935-grandma-wedding.jpg and 19350530-aunt-jane.jpg should go in the
same folder
only by **looking** at them. Because there is no other way to spot that
the second
file is a picture of great-aunt Jane taken just at her sister's wedding.
But if
there are 100 other pictures named 1958-something.jpg displayed in
between, I'll
never see the first two close to each other.
Now yes, this happens because dolphin works just like Sudhir described.
Thanks for
realizing it, I can see it now (can you tell me the exact page/URL/place
where
you found that description, please?).
But I'd still stick here for explanations and fixes because this is NOT
a Dolphin
or KDE problem. Even Nemo, for example, does the same thing. While the
command line
works as expected. I do get all the files whose name starts with 1935
listed one
after the other, no matter what the rest of the filename looks like.
So why the graphical programs sort differently than the ls command? Is
there really no way to make any of them behave the same as ls? This
seems something tied to all
those COLLATE and related variables, but what?
Thanks,
Marco
Fact is, the
