    Hello All,

    My file explorer seems to have trouble sorting filenames in an intuitive
    way. Just look at the below (listing generated using "dir /one 60.*", but
    the same order appears in Explorer)

    60.00.00.32.dds
    60.00.00.32.msh
    60.00.00.32.nif
    60.00.32.32.dds
    60.00.-32.32.dds
    60.00.32.32.msh
    60.00.-32.32.msh
    60.00.32.32.nif
    60.00.-32.32.nif

    I would expect the "60.00.-30.*" entries to come first, followed by the "60.00.00.*" and "60.00.32.*" groups.

    Some time ago (years probably :-) ) I've added the NoStrCmpLogical setting,
    and thought that it was fixed. But apperantly no such luck.

    Does anyone know what is going on here -- or better yet, how to fix it ?

    Regards,
    Rudy Wieser
