Nemo version 4.8.6 is from may 21. Current version is 5.2.4 This problem doesn't seem to be present in the current version.
Sorting order is locale dependent. There is no "universal" collating sequence.
Ah, fascinating! Does anyone happen to know by any chance if that'd be LC_COLLATE
, and if that one actually works with musl libc + Alpine for Nemo? I tried this in /etc/profile.d/locale.sh
which is how one is apparently supposed to set it on Alpine (on which postmarketOS is based), but it doesn't change anything:
export CHARSET=UTF-8
export LANG=C.UTF-8
export LC_COLLATE=en_US
Now did I just set it wrong, or is it some musl limitation, or some limitation how Nemo interacts with musl or something? :eyes: Sorry, I just find this whole locale thing kind of confusing.
Issue Sorting "e..." at a wildly different spot than "E..." is counter-intuitive. It might make sense if one knows how ASCII internally works, but the average user definitely doesn't, and I'd argue most people would expect
esther1
andEsther2
to be sorted next to each other.Steps to reproduce
Expected behaviour Alphabetic sorting ignoring case outside of tie-breaks (should probably use a proper unicode lowering that works with umlaut characters and such as well)
