Phone App, Samsung Galaxy A13 5G (SM-A136B/DSN), Android 12

No response

Which version of Nextcloud? (if relevant)

No response

What kind of WebDAV server are you using? (if relevant)

No response

Describe the Bug

The "Folder selection" menu is not sorted alphabetically.

Instead, in my example, the last folder created is also shown last in the sequence.

Expected Behavior

Regardless of any previous sorting, I would expect this menu to be basically alphabetical.

To Reproduce

  1. Alphabetical sorting is selected.
  2. A new folder is created.

It will probably behave similarly with a bookmark, but I have not checked this.

It looks as if the order of the folders corresponds to the time they were created. The last folder created is displayed last in the directory tree.

I think they are just sorted by default with "Custom", which, if you never manually moved your folders, could correspond to the time you created them, yes.

I understand that you would prefer this menu to be sorted Alphabetical by default, because you already uses Alphabetical order in the MainScreen.

But I keep asking myself, if maybe one day someone would come here to complain about the fact that the order in this menu is not following his custom choosen order in the MainScreen.

Would it be better if both screens order always matched ?
If I choose custom in the mainscreen, it automatically uses custom in the selection menu. But if I choose alphabetical, it is alphaebtical also in the selection menu.

In my case I am used to my custom order, so thats easy for me to find my folders.
But if it was alphabetical by default I think I could deal with it also without problem.

There is a workaround available, when you also use floccus for chrome.
Sort the bookmarks alphabetical in bookmark manager of chrome and sync.

But having the alphabetical sorting directly in the android app would be great.
