Hi Stephan,
The main difference in sorting by name or type compared to sorting by
size or date, is that calmira has to sort text instead of numbers, which
is inherently slower. I tried this on my P133 and the winnt\system32
folder (1052 objects), but both sorting actions are almost
instantaniously.
No problem here... can't explain it.
