Even if I choose "Always sort dirs by name" in the menu Settings -> Configure Krusader -> Panel -> View, Krusader always sorts directories like files. Re-Emerging krusader did not solve the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start krusader 2. Go to Settings -> Configure Krusader -> Panel -> View 3. Choose "Always sort dirs by name" 4. Sort a folder (which has subfolders and files) by date. The directories are sorted just like the files and not by name Actual Results: Directories are sorted like files. Expected Results: Directories are sorted by name.

Hmm, this looks more like upstream bug. Sadly they are quite unresponsive, normaly i would recommend to report it on their bugzilla, but god knows now active they become in last months :/
I thought that it could be a Gentoo issue as the krusader people write in their changelog for version 2.0.0-beta1 "Phoenix Egg": FIXED: [ 1736496 ] always sort dirs by name not working I tested it on a kubuntu 10.04 and always sorting directories by name worked. The version used in kubuntu is krusader 2.0.0 "Mars Pathfinder", maybe that's the point?
still valid for 2.3.0_beta1?
Yes, for me the bug is still valid in 2.3.0_beta1.
Can you please try 2.4.0_beta1?
Sorry, I can't as I recently switched to Kubuntu.
Ah well... thanks anyway.
