it’s just sorting

okay but what’s the point of all this

i will never forgive you

cats are evil

fight me

dogs ftw

cats are superior

like... cats

okay but what about off-topic

haha fair

i’m not a search engine

just google it

i still don’t get it

user_a user_b user_c

lol same

and also efficient

because i’m lazy

but why not just rename the files

i guess that makes sense

yeah basically

so it’s like... smart sorting

ohhh

prefix skip fixes it

normal sort is wrong

file1.txt file2.txt file10.txt

like if you have

it’s when you ignore common prefixes

okay but what about the prefix skipping

haha

or sorts
