Disable the numeric classification in file explorer in Windows 10

Η εξερεύνηση αρχείων είναι η προεπιλεγμένη application διαχείρισης αρχείων των Windows από την version 95 έως και σήμερα. Εκτός από τις functions διαχείρισης αρχείων, το Explorer.exe υλοποιεί επίσης το shell, το desktop, taskbar, desktop icons, and Start menu.

It is worth noting that in Windows 10, the Start menu is a special UWP application, which is integrated into the shell. Starting with the Windows 8, File Explorer got the user interface bar and quick access toolbar.

You must be logged in as an administrator before proceeding. The change will apply to all user accounts. To turn off numerical sorting in File Explorer in Windows 10, do the following:

Step 1. Open the Registry Editor application.
Step 2. Go to the following registry key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer

Step 3. On the right, create a new value dword 32bit named NoStrCmpLogical. Note: Even if you are running 64-bit Windows, you must create a 32-bit DWORD value.

Step 4. Set its value to 1 in decimal to disable numeric sorting.
Step 5. Restart Explorer (Windows Explorer)
To reactivate the function, delete the NoStrCmpLogical value you created or set it to 0.

Step 1. Press Win + R at the same time and in the execution window that appears type: gpedit.msc and press Enter.
Step 2. The Local Group Policy Editor will open. Go to Settings computer \ Administrative Templates \ Windows Components \ File Explorer (Computer Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Windows Components \ File Explorer).
Step 3. Enable "Disable numerical sorting in file exploration"

Step 4. Restart Windows 10.
