Jupyterlab extension to help with sorting of the files in file browser (i.e. case sensitive sorting)
npm install jupyterlab_file_browser_sorting_extension
JupyterLab extension that implements LC_COLLATE=C (ASCIIbetical) sorting for the file browser.
- LC_COLLATE=C sorting - Standard Unix sorting order used by ls with C locale
- Dot files first - Hidden files (starting with .) appear before other files
- Uppercase before lowercase - Capital letters (A-Z) sort before lowercase (a-z)
- ASCII order - Characters sorted by their ASCII code values
- Toggle via context menu - Right-click in the file browser to enable/disable
Right-click anywhere in the file browser content area and select "Use Unix-Style Sorting (LC_COLLATE=C)" to toggle the sorting mode. The setting is persisted across sessions.
When enabled, the extension sorts files using the standard Unix C locale collation sequence:
``
. (dot) -> 0-9 -> A-Z -> _ (underscore) -> a-z
Example sort order:
`
.hidden
.profile
123file
ABC
Makefile
README
_config
abc
readme
zebra
This matches the behavior of LC_COLLATE=C ls on Unix systems.
