File softing order inconsistent

@BlueSpiders99 I can't repead this issue. This is the sorting context provider

tagspaces/src/renderer/perspectives/grid-perspective/hooks/SortedDirContextProvider.tsx

Line 117 in 0fe6b0f

return sortByCriteria(currentDirectoryEntries, sortBy, orderBy).map(

sorting is performed before pagination.
This is the sorting function: https://github.com/tagspaces/tagspaces-common/blob/5ebaecc580ed65891535b0d9e5a7cb894bf0df84/packages/common/misc.js#L572
It's have unit tests for sorting too: https://github.com/tagspaces/tagspaces-common/blob/a4fd5768ca0319b5e8b86a3068525a90933ae4e4/__tests__/common/unit/misc.test.js#L133

It will be very helpful if you can provide script that generate files with names to repeat this issue. (Or unit test).
This is our shell script for testing: https://github.com/tagspaces/tagspaces/blob/develop/tests/create-1000files-nothumbs.sh

Can you please tests with our latest beta version: https://github.com/tagspaces/tagspaces/releases/tag/v5.7.1 i think part of the problem should be fixed there.
In general the sorting algorithm we use is not optimized for sorting digits, this will be improved in the future.

5.7.1 did not work, unfortunately.

Here's the Python I used to generate the files. Put a Python file with this code in a folder containing an image and a directory titled "alphabet folder" and it'll do the rest.

import string
import os
import shutil

folderpath = "alphabet folder"

liststring = string.digits + string.ascii_lowercase

for i in range(50):
    for a in list(liststring):
        filename = f"{a}_{i}.png"
        new_file_path = os.path.join(folderpath, filename)
        if not os.path.isfile(new_file_path):
            imagepath = "dey3mffo06b61.png"  # replace with image name
            shutil.copy(imagepath, folderpath)
            os.rename(os.path.join(folderpath, "dey3mffo06b61.png"), new_file_path)
