• Sort by: Defines the column by which the Lister display will be sorted. Select from one of the available column fields in the display.
• Reverse order: Reverses the order of the sort.
• Mixing: Mixing allows you to specify how folders and files should be sorted: all folders before files, all files before folders, or display files and folders intermixed as defined by the sort order.
• Numeric order filename sorting: Sorts numbers numerically rather than alphabetically. This ensures that files beginning or ending with numbers will sort in their correct order. For example, 1, 2, 10 would be sorted in this order rather than 1, 10, 2.
• Word sort (special handling for hyphens, etc): By default, Opus uses a traditional string sort which sorts items on the ASCII value of the character. This is usually more logical when sorting lists of files. Other programs such as Windows Explorer use a word sort that treats hyphens and apostrophes differently than it treats other symbols that are not alphanumeric. This ensures that words such as “coop” and “co-op” stay together within a sorted list. (Note that the default string sort uses lexicographic order which may vary with non-English languages.)
