Sort order for folders and files with preceding undersore(s)

[klaus101]

Describe the bug At least in german localization, in the most used file explorers items with leading underscores are sorted at the beginning, not at the end of the list. This did lead to some habits, where it is convenient to structure and organize data accordingly. Example. __savedVersions _tempStuff Work1 Work2

Folllowing this habits, it is irritating to not find the data where they are expected to be, but at the end of a list. It's worthy to notice that folders and files within the listview do meet this expectation. Whereas not withiin the treeview. Here they are sorted at the end of the list.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create some folders and files with preceding undersore(s)
2. Look where they are sorted in in the treeview
3. Compare where they are order in in the listview

Expected behavior In the treeview elements with preceding underscores are sorted in the beginning, like they do withini the listview

If the issue should be accepted, it might be relevant to know:

In a quite different context / different language i had the same situation, a component that ordered unexpectedly. But it did allow a custom sort for the sort callback. Here i noticed, that the issue could be resolved by a routine called "AnsiCompareText" (the name might be meaningful). I had to constate though that AnsiCompareText behaved noticeably slower than the default sort. So, i ended up to use a kind of compromise: 'pseudo-code": if item-to-compare contains "_" then Compare := AnsiCompareText(S1, S2) else Compare := DefaultCompareText(S1, S2)

@klaus101 Thanks for letting me know. I will fix it so that it sorts in the same order as the standard Windows Explorer. In the tree view, elements preceded by an underscore will be sorted from the top, as in the list view.
