BRU Incorrectly Ordering Numbered Folders

Postby Typhoon5130 » Sat Mar 23, 2024 3:24 am

Hello! I am runnning into a problem where when trying to combine files in folders named numerically, BRU will list the folders in order of the first integer, not the number. For example if I have a folders named Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 11, and Chapter 22 BRU will list the folders as:
Ch. 1
Ch. 11
Ch. 2
Ch. 21

So basically its counting to files as if 11 meant 1.1 and such. Is there anyway to disable this, and preferably make it so it would count the folders normally.

Sorting > Logical Sorting

This option allows you to sort file names according to the default Windows sort-sequence. This allows files containing numbers to be sorted logically, e.g. 1.txt, 2.txt, 10.txt, 11.txt, 21.txt. The default sort-sequence for all operating systems earlier than XP is to use absolute sorting, e.g. 1.txt, 10.txt, 11.txt, 2.txt, 21.txt.
