tags file not sorted error
Hari Krishna Dara
I am generating tags file under Vim SVN source (very recent) using the
options:
--exclude=.svn --sort=foldcase
When I set 'tags' to just "tags" and I am in the directory where the
tags file resides (which is the root of Vim source, above src directory)
and try to lookup tags, I get
E432: Tags file not sorted: tags
I have 'tagbsearch' turned on. I have been using the same options to
generate tags file on other sources for a long time and Vim doesn't
complain. Even with the above error, it seems to be able to locate for a
few tags that I tried.
I have ctags version 5.7 and Vim version 7.1 (GA). Has anyone else
noticed this? If not, what is that I am missing in my settings?

:set ignorecase
or else
--sort=yes
:set noignorecase
Best regards,
Tony.

I forgot about this settings, thanks for mentioning. I already have
'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' turned on, so what other settings matter?
Here is a brief version information, in case it matters:

MS-Windows 32 bit GUI version with OLE support

Big version with GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):

I've scanned the patches' README for /tag/ and /ignorecase/ but found nothing
conclusive (2 hits but didn't look very relevant). Yet, who knows? There is a
pre-compiled 7.1.130 at
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43866&package_id=39721
-- click the clipboard-like icon between the version and the date to view the
":version" listing.
My Exuberant ctags is version 5.6 so I guess yours isn't outdated ;-)
As a last resort, you may try sorting the tagfile yourself, but make sure that
the !_TAG_FILE_SORTED header has the proper value (between hard tabs): 0 = no,
1 = yes, 2 = foldcase. After the second tab I see a comment between slashes.
Best regards,
Tony.
