Problem with sort order in Groups in Together
-
Hi--
I love Together but one problem with it is driving me nuts lately as I use it more often and I suspect it's easy to fix. There's got to be a bug in how subitems are sorted within GROUPS on the left. I use Together for a lot of PDFs from magazines. I organize those folders by magazine name--Harvard Business Review, IEEE Software, etc. Within those I create folders for each issue if its a magazine I file a lot from. My convention for naming those folders is 2012-02 for "February 2012". For 2010 I have 2010-03, 2010-04, 2010-09, and 2010-0102 with the "0102" representing the Jan-Feb combined issue those months. Here's the bug: 2010-0102 is sorted on the left after 2010-09. They are identical strings up through "2010-0" then one has "9" and other other "102". The Jan-Feb (102) folder should be the first shown for 2010 and is when I create folders on my Mac for this. It's just Together that sorts them strangely.
If you could address this at some time, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,

Actually, this isn't a bug. Together sorts groups/folders and files the same was as the Finder (something a lot of people expected and requested) so files are sorted by the value of the individual numbers instead of a numeric order, so in that case 0102 has a higher value than 09. What you could do is name that one 2010-01-02 and you would get the ordering you require.
