Order of files in directory

[balroggg]

Order of files in felix, for example root of this repository:

..
README.md
config.yaml <---

Order of files in ls(kinda reverse) or ranger:

ls -1
Cargo.lock
Cargo.toml
CHANGELOG.md
config.yaml <---
LICENSE
README.md
...

Is this intentional or just random choice? Maybe consider sort files in the same(alphabet order if I not wrong) order?

Maybe use natord::compare_ignore_case instead of natord::compare in state.rs

Interesting. This didn't came to my mind, but yes felix sorts in the different way.

ls default:

Seems ls also ignores prefix dot, so will need to use strip_prefix(|x| ...).

Personally I'm too accustomed to this order: Especially, I feet it's good to sort all dot files before others. But it may be worth getting align with ls's default.

I'd like to hear what others have to say about this.

Or just adding its own configuration, like "ls / alphabetical (dot first) / alphabetical (dot last)...", may work.

I'm talking more about order in files or directories without hidden files or unrelated to them.

Order in ls: Cargo.lock Cargo.toml CHANGELOG.md config.yaml LICENSE README.md CH.. -> co..

Order in felix: Cargo.lock Cargo.toml CHANGELOG.md LICENSE README.md config.yaml CH.. -> LI..

I'm ok with order of hidden files :smile:

Ok, I understand. But if we consider under the rule of ls, the position of hidden files should be also taken care... (Or shouldn't it?)

If I leave hidden files untouched, it goes like this:

drwxr-xr-x  8 kyohei kyohei  4096 Nov 19 06:58 .git
drwxr-xr-x  3 kyohei kyohei  4096 Apr 15  2022 .github

Well, that's fine, I like it. But not ls-like yet. Anyway, I want more from others on this. Will keep this open.
