Name sorting NOT by numerical valueΒ #635

Hello!

So Windows 10's name ordering is kind of weird. If you have images named 01.jpg, 02.jpg, 3.jpg and 04.jpg, it will show them in that order, even though the correct one would be 01.jpg, 02.jpg, 04.jpg and 3.jpg. And once letters and symbols get into the mix, it gets even weirder.

It always annoyed me, and I finally found out that it's possible to change that:

In the start menu, search for "Edit Group Policy" or "gpedit.msc" and press enter.
In the Local Group Policy Editor, navigate to User Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / File Explorer.
In Windows 10 this is in File Explorer, whereas Windows 7 apparently called it Windows Explorer.
Double-click Turn off numerical sorting in File Explorer and select Enabled, then click OK
(https://superuser.com/questions/1065671/is-there-a-way-to-fix-the-sort-by-name-in-windows-10-file-explorer)

But all the image viewers, whether it's Windows Photos, IrfanView or ImageGlass still use the original, wrong way to display the images, even when you have it set up like this.

Would it be possible to include a sorting option that does it the right way, so it now corresponds to the way the images are sorted in the File Explorer?

Thanks!
