183337 (in the separate comment) is showing a folder on my internal drive,
going anticlockwise from the right is the largest subfolder (in red), followed
by progressively smaller ones in green, cyan, blue, etc before the 'misc small
files' in dark purple. With the angle of the segment representing actual
file/folder size, this is what I would expect (sorted in size order).

183336 (in the original post) is from running Filelight on an SMB share.
Instead of the first element on the right (in red) being largest, it's yellow,
orange, blue, red, purple and not in size order on the chart itself.
There's no setting to change the sort order and, considering its purpose as a
disk usage analyser, I would assume the intended behaviour would be to show the
contents in order of size hence my thinking this is unintended.

I realise by cropping out the details view it doesn't show that those folders
are instead sorted in alphabetical order, so if it would be helpful for me to
also show the details panel on the left I'll happily do that.
