More on unclear sorting in the Mac OS X 10.2.x Finder

MacFixIt reader Mike notes that regardless of what the intended sort order is, it can be easily demonstrated that the implementation is broken for file names with a numeric value greater than 999999. As this example shows:

• 1000000
• 1
• 999999

Also string length is not a factor:

• 1000000
• 1
• 0999999
• 999999

See yesterday's report on this same issue for further information.
