Details:
When sorting by a property that can be the same for different files (e.g.
file size), files having the same value are sorted strangely.
When you just change the sorting method from name to e.g. size, files of the
same size remain sorted by name. If you change directory, or simply press ^R
to reload the panel, these files will be sorted randomly (in fact I guess in
file system order). So a simple ^R changes the order, even though nothing
changed on the file system. This is quite strange, and IMHO not the expected
behavior.
IMHO sorting should always fallback to name, when their size/date/whatever is
the same.
PS. Does the "Unsorted" (file system order) option has any meaning in
practice? I don't think so.
