Re: [ALUG] Can on specify a default sort order for applications (as opposed to ls)?

2008/7/2 Chris G <cl@isbd.net>:

Is it possible to specify a default sort order for all applications to use as opposed to just ls (and/or the default file manager)?

The underlying OS APIs to get directory listings don't do any sorting. See FindFirstFile in VC++, and opendir and readdir in the Unix world. Directory sorting is always application specific. Tim.
