Why can't i sort by roman numerals on windows?

why can't i sort by roman numerals on windows?

What are you talking about?

That's windows.

>i, ii, iii, iv, ix, v, vi, vii, viii, x, xi

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

sudo pacman -S gucharmap

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.

Those are not Roman numerals you idiot. Those are letters.

Those aren't roman numerals, they're letters.

try these:

I
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
Ⅴ
Ⅵ
Ⅶ
Ⅷ
Ⅸ
Ⅹ
Ⅺ
Ⅻ
Ⅼ
Ⅽ
Ⅾ
Ⅿ

...

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

Idiot

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

Set the language to Latin

Because they're letters, dum dum.

>why can't i sort by numbers on windows
>1
>10

>3

?

01
02
03
10
11
etc.

>.txt
ok

what, do you prefer folders?

...

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, user.

honestly surprised, didn't think it would work.

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

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.

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

i
ii
iii
iiii
iiiii
etc

install os x

>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

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

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.

Sure
1
10
11
2

>folders are scattered among files

that's even more broken.

how tho
all are objects

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

Are there even unicode chars for Babylonial numerals?

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

why cant I order by hex on windows

>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.
