With ASCII sort ordering, upper case alphabets actually comes before the underscore (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII). The problem here (in native tree view) is that we sort them by the note's title which is always capitalized when created, but display them in the tree view with the file's URI, which will be not capitalized unless you named it with uppercase alphabets. In the web based tree view you can see that we are correctly displaying the capitalized note title (

A

). So if you want to have

_b.md

come before

a.md

, you would need to fix the frontmatter

title

property of the note

a.md

to be lowercase. Along with other related sort ordering issues, we will be changing the native tree view to correctly display the title instead of the file name to make it less confusing. Sorry about the inconvenience 🙏🏻 Note that with the upcoming fix, you will be able to set a custom frontmatter property

nav_order

to arbitrarily sort the notes in your tree view, so you may not need to add the underscore if the only reason for it was to bubble it up in the tree view.

I installed another version and I still have the same issue

what did the glorious people at microsoft break now 😭

Got it. Thanks for the troubleshooting. I'll spend some time trying to figure this out.

One last thing. Can you try running this command from the command palette?

Developer: Toggle Developer Tools

. This will open the dev tool within VSCode. on the console tab, do you see any error logs when you open the Dendron preview? I can't reproduce your issue on my machine so it would be great if you can share your environment as well.

I have a bunch of errors:

How can I share them with you? There are warnings and errors

I am afraid to uninstall VSCODE, install the previous version and create problems with my current Dendron environment. What would you say?

Seems like 1.66 broke a lot of things... :/

So this is definitely a CSS problem. Are you on a Mac?

Yes. I am on MAC. Version 12.3

I'm afraid I can't reproduce this on vscode 1.66.0 on my local machine. Wonder if this is OS specific. I'm on Big Sur.

I managed to install the 1.65.2 version and it works like a charm!

Glad it works! Still puzzled what's going on with VSCode, but hopefully this gets resolved on their end for next release 😰

a super quick skim of the changelog really doesn't show anything obvious that would have caused this..... hrm

can i manually point Dendron at a git installation, or is it time to make a .bat file that sets some env variables and then launches my "Dendron(+vim)-only (well maybe some themes)" copy of vscode?

I have a published dendron vault online for a report. The destinary just called me and said cool website but wouldn't you have a pdf version out of it ?

I know I can export a single page to pdf using the vscode preview

bless their hearts

but i have a bunch of pages. any possibility to export a full dendron to a unique pdf document or similar ?

you could probably use something to first convert them all to pdfs and then stitch them together....

i think ruby has a gem called "prawn" that works well for this, pandoc too IIRC.

Ok will have a look at pandoc ...

i know asciidoctor-pdf uses prawn (i'm a huge asciidoc fan... that and org-mode can have my babies, but there isn't as much tooling around it i've noticed)

I know I know.... Slay uses weird crap like fossil and asciidoc.... and adores tf outta Ruby (but I don't know Rails... at all LOL).

(i'd probably be on org-roam in emacs(probably doomemacs, evil added at the least) if it didn't give me three-thousand twenty-nine headaches trying to use it portably on windoze).

(but i do adore vscode... and might switch to vscodium soon™)

why?

because i still buy 2600 in cash 😁

i know i'm doomed regardless, but when i can i do little things that make me feel better lol.
