Bug description

Cinnamon-settings themes, does not sort the themes by name. Either applications or desktop. This works in Mint 21.3 My themes are: Fluent-purple-Dark Lightningbug-Solid-Dark Mint-DarkGreen Mint-DarkOrange Mint-DarkPurple Mint-DarkRed Mint-DarkTeal Mint-Green Mint-Teal Orchis-Orange-Dark Yaru-olive-dark2

Cinnamon-Settings My themes in ~/.themes have custom icons. Read between the lines. It's the name sorting I'm calling the bug.

Mint-DarkOrange is sorted in the wrong place. Not only that but the custom Yaru-olive-dark2 (a copy of the system theme Yaru-olive-dark) in my .themes folder also sorts way before other system Yaru* themes (they show at the bottom and are not in the screenshot).

Steps to reproduce

Open settings->themes. Have create a few themes in your home folder ~/.themes You can copy one theme from /usr/share/themes and just duplicate it several times. Chose names that are different, not all "Mint*". Reproduce the same names I have listed above.

Expected behavior

All themes, mine and system, should sort alphabetically. Or one would assume so.

Isn't this a feature? If you installed your own themes beyond the ones that are on the system, shouldn't they come first? Even if you were to disagree, this seems more like a design decision that you disagree with, not a bug. What if others prefer to have the theme(s) they installed come before the system themes?

Changing this behavior would also render it inconsistent vs the other Spices. Applets, desklets, and extensions all enumerate the user-installed ones before the system ones.

That might be a good idea, and it seems to work for 'applications' but for 'desktop' it does not. Cinnamon-settings2 I had Mint-DarkOrange (mine) linked to /usr/share/themes so the app thought that was part of the system and sorted it that way. But cinnamon is a system theme and it sorts at the top before mine.

Cinnamon-settings3 With Mint-DarkOrange unlinked, all of my themes do sort at the top in 'applications' (no picture) and in 'desktop' they do too except for cinnamon theme.

I can live with it this way. Not sure why cinnamon does this but one out of 40 is fine with me.
