Wow. How remarkably non intuitive.
In any case, that rocks Mark. I have to account for users putting funny file names into their folders.
The deal is that the lovely approach of getting the sorted directory listing that I asked about yesterday takes 15 seconds for a directory of 174 items on a Quad Intel box under 10.6.whatever, while doing it from Unix is rather instant.
Also, we have some boxes running 10.4 server and 10.5 and sadly, the Finder's sort does not work on 10.4.
In any case, I'll post the Unix result if I get it working.
Thanks again man
Cheers,
- Alex
