By default, rows are sorted according to the order they were scanned. If you sort the rows by some column, that same column can be used as a basis for future sorting if you enable the 'Save Last Sorted' option.
You can configure whether you want to use regular sorting or numeric-based sorting (sometimes called
natural sorting) for names that have a mixture of alphabetic characters and numbers.
An example best illustrates the difference.
The names A10, A2, A000100 are sorted by a regular sorter in ascending order to yield: A000100, A10, A2.
The same entries sorted by numeric based sorting yields: A2, A10, A000100.
The difference is that when numbers are present in names, their numerical values are taken
into account in the sorting.
You may have noticed that Windows XP uses numeric based sorting to sort filenames. Older Windows
operating systems like Windows 2000, ME, etc. use regular sorting (i.e. character based sorting).
If names are sorted that only have numbers in them or if you are sorting by a column
that only has numbers in
it (e.g. old name length), then those names will always be sorted in numeric order.
All window sizes are saved automatically when the program exits. There is therefore a button to reset the window sizes to their default sizes.
There is a button to reset all display options to their default values. When this is pressed, all custom colours in the colour palette will also be reset to their default values. This button will not, however, reset the window sizes.
