Sorting strings starting with a period

[riku22]

Sorting strings that start with a period does not work as expected. where should i fix it?

Actual behavior

C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\format.ps1
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\LICENSE
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\NaturalSort.Extension.sln
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\NaturalSort.Extension.sln.DotSettings
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\NaturalSort.Extension.snk
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\README.md
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\.appveyor.yml
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\.editorconfig
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\.gitattributes
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\.gitignore

Expected behavior

C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\.appveyor.yml
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\.editorconfig
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\.gitattributes
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\.gitignore
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\format.ps1
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\LICENSE
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\NaturalSort.Extension.sln
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\NaturalSort.Extension.sln.DotSettings
C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\NaturalSort.Extension.snk

Thanks for contributing with your report.

I cannot reproduce your problem, I'm getting the values you marked as "Expected behavior", so everything is working as it should for me.

Can you please share a code snippet to reproduce the issue?

Sorry. It seems my example was wrong. I was actually trying to sort a list of files containing directory names. When I sorted without adding a directory name, the expected result was output. I'm going to modify the program somehow and consider the method.

Below is the code just in case.

using System;
using System.Linq;
using NaturalSort.Extension;

class Program{
static void Main(){
string[] random_array = {@"C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\format.ps1", @"C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\.editorconfig", @"C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\LICENSE", @"C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\.gitattributes", @"C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\NaturalSort.Extension.sln", @"C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\.appveyor.yml", @"C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\NaturalSort.Extension.sln.DotSettings", @"C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\.gitignore", @"C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\NaturalSort.Extension.snk", @"C:\scripts\NaturalSort.Extension\README.md"};
string[] ordered = random_array.OrderBy(x => x, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase.WithNaturalSort()).ToArray();
Console.WriteLine("Source array:");
foreach (string value in random_array){
Console.WriteLine(value);
}
Console.WriteLine("Sort result:");
foreach (string value in ordered){
Console.WriteLine(value);
}
}
}

Great, no problem.

I'm closing this issue for now. Feel free to re-open it or create a new one in case you encounter something else.
