Public bug reported:
In doing testing for other bugs related to this package, I have noted
that this file manager defaults to displaying files/directories in
reverse order (Z->A, 9->1, etc.)
I don't know if this is a bug, or a design decision, but it seems
counter-intuitive to me...
I just installed the release version of Lubuntu 18.10 (but am not using it at
the moment),
and whatever exact version of pcmanfm-qt that is included in that release is
what I most recently tried.
Naturally, the situation is easily remedied, but think of the first-time
user, running the program and finding everything (as it seems to
him/her) backwards...
[NB: any system-related info that is printed below or is attached, will not be
the version I was testing.
I could not figure out how to report a bug without running ubuntu-bug,
and it naturally reported the environment in which it was running, not
the environment where I most recently noted the bug. If the bug existed in
17.10, I long ago altered the display order not to be reversed...]
