SD Card sort order

I figured this would have been asked but a search by the above topic finds nothing, so here goes.

The files from the SD card are shown on the LCD in either random order or file creation order or something else. Having them sorted alphabetically would be very helpful.

Marlin supports this with the M34 command but I have tried that and nothing seemed to change. Does the Prusa support file sorting, or did I do something wrong?

Many thanks!

Re: SD Card sort order

M34 is not supported in this branch.

I believe that the SD card order is the order in which the files were placed on the card

Thanks, good to know it simply isn't implemented.
I'm sure there's a very good reason for leaving it out, probably memory limitations or performance issues. I use a FlashAir card so there's normally lots of files on there and finding the right one, even with good use of folders is harder than it needs to be because of this.

I'll drop a mail to support asking for it to be considered as a feature enhancement in future. Thanks.
