            Bug ID: 509071
           Summary: Setting "sorting mode" effective is defect
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
      Version First 23.08.5
       Reported In:
          Platform: openSUSE
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: panels: folders
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: nji9 at arcor.de
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Example filenames:
04, 3, z (alphabetical)
3, 04, z ("natural")

Setting alphabetical file name order:
Configure Dolphin / General / Behavior / Sorting Mode.

If it is set to "Alphabetical, case sensitive", the list shows alright 04,3,z.

Now switching to "Natural" then Apply or OK, the order doesn't change.

To set it into effect you have to either
(a) reopen (just that!) the configure dialog or
(b) close and reopen Dolphin.

Refresh (F5), or changing to another folder and back... has no effect.

The other way round ("Natural" to "alphabetical, case sensitive): same.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version:  Example filenames:
04, 3, z (alphabetical)
3, 04, z ("natural")
-
a123, a43, z (alphabetical)
a43, a123, z ("natural")

Fortunately Dolphin supports alphabetical file name order:
Configure Dolphin / General / Behavior / Sorting Mode.

But the setting is defect:

If it is set to "Alphabetical, case sensitive", the list shows alright 04,3,z.
Now switching to "Natural", the order doesn't change.
To set it into effect you have to either
(a) reopen (just that!) the configure dialog or
(b) close and reopen Dolphin.
Refresh (F5), or changing to another folder and back... has no effect.

The other way round ("Natural" to "alphabetical, case sensitive): same.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.6
