'Open With' adds files in reverse/random order

[Lukasz Soltykowski]

When I select multiple audio files and open them in any music player via right clicj menu and 'Open With', they are being added in the reverse order. One time I thin I remember that even this was not consistent and some files were out of (reverse) order. I have checked with nautilus and it was working ok, files were added in whatever order they were sorted.

I havent checked, but I think files would be opened in the order in which they were selected or the reverse so if they were selected randomly they would be opened in random order. It should be possible to fix by sorting the selected file list before opening.

nope, files are opened in the reverse order, from bottom to the top so to speak. Sorting does not fix it. Sure I could reverse the sorting and then play the files but it seems counter intuitive.

Hi Lukasz. This bug seems to be fixed in Loki (I tried it using text files and Scratch). The files opened in the order in which they appeared in the view.

Please confirm whether this bug is fixed for you in Loki, thanks.
