Enabling ASCII Sort order for Listings of Users, Files and Folders

Beginning with FileCloud 23.241, natural sort order is the default for listings of user names, files, and folders. Prior to FileCloud 23.241, ASCII sort order was the default.

Natural sort order is used by default for listings of users, files, and folders in FileCloud. This option uses case-insensitive ordering of entries.
The default can be changed to ASCII sort order using the setting shown below.

Natural Sort Order	ASCII Sort Order
Items sorted on numerals. Items sorted without case sensitivity.	Items sorted on numerals. Items sorted on uppercase letters. Items sorted on lowercase letters.

To switch from Natural sort order to ASCII:

Enable ASCII sorting by setting the following key in the file WWWROOT\config\cloudconfig.php .

TEXT

define("TONIDOCLOUD_NATURALORDER_SORTING", 0);

Natural sorting can be reenabled by setting the key value to 1.

For systems running prior to FileCloud 23.241
