In M92, firmware 1.8 (1.8.20121113), there are 6 options for the sorting of files and folders in file explorer.

I have difficulty in sorting of folders.

When I set "sort By Title", M92 correctly sorts both files and folders. Files are sorted by the title in the file properties. Folders don't have the title, so they are simply sorted by folder name.

However I have thousands of PDF files with empty or wrong title field in the document properties. Therefore I want to sort by file name. I set "sort By Name", and M92 correctly sorts files (by their filename). However, folders are sorted randomly - neither by folder name, neither by their date, neither by their size.

The similar problem is with the "sort By Author" - folders are sorted randomly.

My question: What does it mean "sort By Name" when applied to folders?

I have searched forum, but found only booxtor's description of fw1.8, where during the sorting, the folders are grouped first - before files. No mention about sorting of folder within their group. (Firmware updates ...)
