Appreciate there isnt much system debug information here, so please advise what, if anything you'd like to know and I can get it and provide.

Hi @dundee - thanks for the rapid fix

I can confirm that the crash no longer happens, however perfoming a 'sort by size' on a 'disk display' (-d then s as above) now does not change the ordering of disks shown at all - their order remains how they were loaded, out of size order.

[dundee]

Sorting was always possible only on the 'file/dir display' but I think it will be a nice feature to add it to disks list as well. Thanks for suggestion!

[danstreeter]

Ah ok that makes sense why it doesn’t work then! =)
To be honest didn’t check if it was a feature or not - just went for it as am performing a home server migration and wanted to quickly see where the bulk of space was being used across drives.
Perfect use case and way quicker than ncdu.

Thanks for the great project.
