This is something I've wondered for years: Why do computers use such a dumb way of alphabetizing? i.e. why do the following files get listed like this: image1.jpg image10.jpg image11.jpg image2.jpg image22.jpg image25.jpg image8.jpg image9.jpg I know generally this is how you would want to do this, but couldn't we find a couple of pattern matching algorithms where most of the time you would get this: image1.jpg image2.jpg image8.jpg image9.jpg image10.jpg image11.jpg image22.jpg image25.jpg I know this is not *really* KDE, but Qt, which is designed to copy windows... but we can always add functionality by subclassing Qt methods(pretend I know what I'm talking about...I've been using Java lately). I could see tremendous benefits by such a simple thing. Like my Cervisia "Log" is totally a waste because there no order to it (1.1 1.10 1.11 1.2 1.3 1.4....) Henry
