Description David Schroeder 2006-01-24 04:59:19 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
With my locale set to en_US.UTF-8, sort by name is slightly wrong when it comes
to case insensitivity.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start a nautilus with LANG=en_US.UTF-8
2. In a new directory, creates files 'A1' 'a2' 'A3' and 'a4'
3. Tell nautilus to sort by name


Actual results:
The files show up in the wrong order, namely 'a2' 'a4' 'A1' 'A3'

Expected results:
The files to show up in the order 'A1' 'a2' 'A3' 'a4', and ls and konqueror do

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Hi, nautilus uses g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename() glib function to sort by name, that function was implemented in purpose in bug 172690 , if you think it needs some tweaking then file a bug against glib product.
