Sorting by size jumps forward in unit description [SOLVED]

[Thy Grand Voidinesss]

Take a look at this screenshot showcasing Everything and the operating system details od two bordering files at the split between the KB and MB mark

Everything sort order bordering sizes issue.jpg (1.03 MiB) Viewed 1543 times

All volumes seen on that list have their own separate drive and are set to being: GPT - Simple - NTFS - allocation unit size 64 KB; with the exception of volume C [which shares space with other volumes not seen on that list and which automatically had its AUS set to 4 KB due to containing the operating system]


Can this be changed/fixed? Is Everything able to show 999.999 KB and then 1.000 MB for a slightly bigger item, when its view of items is being sorted out by the Size column?

Please try the Metric size standard:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the View tab on the left.
• Set Size standard to: Metric.
• Click OK.

JEDEC: 1KB = 1024 bytes (default)
IEC: 1KiB = 1024 bytes
Metric: 1kB = 1000 bytes



Looks like you have set the size_auto_format to 3 decimal places.

Please consider changing this to 3 digits (more than 3 digits is usually unnecessary information):

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  size
• Select size_auto_format.
• Set the value to: 3 digits (default)
• Click OK.

If you need the detailed size information, please consider showing sizes as bytes:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the View tab on the left.
• Set Size format to: bytes.
• Click OK.

Selecting an item and hovering over the size in the status bar will show the total size in bytes.

Switching to using

Tools > Options > View > Size standard > Metric

fixes this, i.e. I now see a smooth transition
