On major problem with this search order is that it conflicts with the order of files in Nautilius in the non-search view.
In my home folder I have 'thesis' and 'tmp' subfolders, and they are shown in that order. I type 't' expecting 'thesis' to be the first result so that I can hit enter and navigate to the 'thesis' folder. However 'tmp' comes up first because Nautilus's search view is sorting by length before aphabetically, or something (not sure what the exact algorithm is). This is one of the behaviours preventing the new search interface from being used for keyboard navigation as a replacement for the removed typeahead functionality. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326582 Title: sort order of files listings in nautilus is not alphabetical To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/326582/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
