Values
fstNone | No special sorting is done; items will appear in the order provided by the file system. |
fstAlphabet | Items are sorted alphabetically (case-insensitive) with folders and files mixed. |
fstFoldersFirst | Items are sorted alphabetically (case-insensitive) with folders placed at the beginning of the list prior to any file entries in the list. |
fstCustom | Items are sorted using a user-defined compare function for files and directories. The sort routine should return a negative value if the first item comes before the second item, a positive value when the first item comes after the second item, or 0 (zero) when both items have the same value. |
