Sort order of Resource Manager doesn't match system


Recommended Posts

AFPUB 1.8.4.648  OS X 10.15.3.  I'm not totally sure, but it seems to be the way leading numbers on the names are sorted. Mac and LR sort by the numeric value, then alphabetical, Publisher sorts by, I believe, hex value - or by character value, then alphabetical characters. Thus, "007" comes before "6" in Publisher, whereas it's the reverse on the Mac and in LR.

This plays havoc with the user's ability to cross-check and validate Publisher resources against system lists.

Can't we have a match of Publisher's sort (everywhere, e.g., Resource Manager, Index, etc.) with the system it's installed on? Thanks!

See example screenshot.

@walt.farrell replied that LR and the Mac system are using a numeric sort while AFPUB is using an alphabetic sort.

I still would love to have my applications match up with the system defaults in that regard. As it is, I can't really change any of them, especially the Resource Manager and Lightroom. Yes, it is possible, though tedious, to capture the system list and then put it into some other application that can sort alphabetically, but having to do that many times over can really eat up a lot of time. The Affinity User Interface should do that by default (system-dependent) IMHO.
