You explaining that you would only do a numerical sort when the basename of the filename is entirely a number, as if your logical sense translates into a good user experience, is exactly why companies have to hire UX designers instead of just programmers.

If you have Windows 10, I suggest that you play around with filenames with numbers in file explorer and see how they’re sorted. Your intuition does not match the average user’s expectations in this circumstance.

As per usual, it seems that yellows in the first guess cause me to do worse.

Both “11” and “11.” are strings, because the context is listing filenames. Filenames are not numbers. They are strings. If you sort filenames by number, you are asking the computer to interpret the string as having a number inside it. At worst, it might interpret “11” as an integer and “11.” as a floating point number, because that syntax is often used to specify a floating point number in programming. But even then, it could still sort them correctly.

I don’t mean to start an argument, but as a professional programmer, there are just some things that I know.

It’s not sorting correctly. Right above the listing it specifically says “(sorting by #)”.

If it says it is sorting by number, but then it sorts alphabetically, then it isn’t sorting correctly.

My favorite is my tablet computer with its digital pen and the default drawing software, whatever that is.

You see, I got the tablet for other reasons, and it came with a pen. What it all boils down to is that my favorite is whatever I already have. When I don’t have a computer nearby, my favorite is a pencil and paper.

I had to adopt this sort of policy because of my personality. I’m not a perfectionist, but like many people, I have hints of perfectionism. And this means that I think to myself things like, “I want to draw, and of course I would, if I only had this specific tool.”

But the truth is that I already had all of the tools I needed to draw. Always have. The important thing about drawing is drawing. I figure that if I ever spend a lot of time drawing and get good at it, then at that point, I’ll already know what other tools I want.

This would be embarrassing for a 12 year old.

Definitely should have been “live off coral”.

I had just watched a video on the gympie-gympie plant, so I had the idea of starting with TOXIC SHRUB, but I thought of a different second word that matched the game better.

Choosing a deliberately poor two-word starting phrase nearly got me into trouble.

One of the most common mistakes that bird owners make is to put them in a cage that is too small. Birds need a lot of space.

Had I realized the date of 4/20, I’d probably have gone with a theme.

I’m currently having some fun with the concept of having two word starting phrases. Probably not as good for the score, but my Wordle goal is to have fun.

Such a stupid mistake by me this time. But on the other hand, it gave high marks to my crude starting words.

I’ve once again been graded poorly for using inappropriate starting words. 😢

The mom left without her kid.

He probably already does. There’s a reason why these sorts of articles always use the words “at least”. He has “at least 14 children”.

When there is a strong power dynamic, where one person has power over another, it can obliterate the idea of consent.

I think that Musk’s desire to have a large number of children is evidence of a mental illness.

You say you have mental illness. That might be so, I don’t know. But I will say that everybody, even people without mental illness, make mistakes like you described, especially at your age.

Everybody has dark and light inside of them. Being aware of this and being concerned when you make mistakes is usually a good sign that you’re not a bad person. Try not to compare yourself to other people. Compare yourself to your past self. Keep improving and try to make fewer mistakes. But don’t punish yourself too severely for making mistakes. Just keep trying to do better.
