Due to security, tight control of user rights, and understaffed IT, I have very limited opportunities to upgrade my Cygwin installation. I am using netrw version v149 plugin for vim, which sorts files like so:
20181217.1904+20190101.1954.zip*
20181217.1904+20190102.1731.zip
20181217.1904.zip*
I find this odd, since bash lists the files like so:
20181217.1904.zip*
20181217.1904+20190101.1954.zip*
20181217.1904+20190102.1731.zip
In both cases, the sort is by file name, in ascending order. However, the netrw sort seems to treat the "+" character as preceding ".", while the reverse is true in the bash sort.
I find the latter to be much more useful, and wonder how it is that the plugin is using a different character precedence. Is there a simple and pain-free way to get the second sorting scheme in netrw v.149?
