because you're not using roman numerals, but letters. there's roman numerals you can find in charmap.exe not sure if those work though, i don't use windows so i can't test

>>61588120
sudo pacman -S gucharmap

>>61588187
now tell me how i run windows explorer to test it. and if i can even use those characters in filenames in windows.

finding the characters isn't the hard part.

Wtf is this shit? IIX is obviously the way to go for 8.

>>61591033
Idiot

>>61588073
Its sorted by alpha-(indian)numeric. Not roman numerals.

Set the language to Latin

>>61588073
Because they're letters, dum dum.

You couldn't in older versions of Windows, which got me into the habit of prefixing with a 0 for single digits.

>mfw I found out last year Windows doesn't do that anymore since XP

You're probably like me, anon.

honestly surprised, didn't think it would work.

>>61596371
yeah, i used xp then linux for a long time, didn't know this was a thing.

>>61596389
A good question would be why doesn't linux do this?

because most file managers sort alphabetically, and 10 is before 2 in alphabetical order. you would need to code specifically for this case, which i think no one cared enough about. padding with zeroes works anyway.

maybe a few file managers do sort like this, idk.

>>61596503
Yeah, just like on Windows then. Just admit that your freedom software isn't always best.

>>61596275
i
ii
iii
iiii
iiiii
etc

>I want my file browser to automatically check every filename in every folder I open to see if they conform to a recognisable roman-numeral-like format and sort them if they do.

no thanks. In the incredibly rare occasion I'll need to sort this way, I'll do it with a script or something.

>not using base 60 for everything

>>61596198
iirc there's a group policy for those, of course fags shitposting about Windows on /g/ would have no clue as to how to configure Windows.

>>61596371
I still use a few legacy apps, like image viewers, that sort like that, and I have to prefix my shit with 0s because of that. But even if I wouldn't need to, I'd do it out of habit nowadays.

>>61596754
Sure
1
10
11
2

>>61596754
>folders are scattered among files

that's even more broken.

>>61598231
how tho
all are objects

even when u use ls for example, folders are along files too

>>61598160
Are there even unicode chars for Babylonial numerals?

>>61596754
What kind of retardness is this? This is the same order as OP's picture.

why cant I order by hex on windows

>>61598231
>that's even more broken.
They are in alphabetic order.
You can choose to sort by size, creation date, modification date, date last opened, tags and kind.
Guess which is the only one to list with all the folders together.
