GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 745664
Files are not sorted in Case Insensitive Alphabetical order
Last modified: 2017-08-13 16:42:17 UTC
Created attachment 298620 [details] list view - incorrect sorting. The files and folders are not case insensitively arranged in nautilus. This is very confusing to visually look up file/folders inside nautilus. I have to depend on find to find the files. How to Reproduce: mkdir ~/test-dir-sorting ; #1 touch abc9 Abc3 aBc2 ABc4 abc5 ABC1 aBC6 nautilus ~/test-dir-sorting see that the files are not listed / sorted like humans like to do and see. Please see the attachments both icon view and list view do not sort case-insensitively. Expected behavior: Case Insensitive Sort of files/folders The files should be sorted like: ABC1 aBc2 Abc3 ABc4 abc5 aBC6 abc9
Created attachment 298621 [details] icon view - iconrrect sorting causes difficulty to locate files visually
Thanks for taking the time to report this. This particular bug issue derives from a bug in a glib, which causes case sensitiveness to take over digits. I'm marking as duplicate of a previous report on the same issue. Please feel free to report any further bugs you find. (Also related to bug 355152, which cover this and other cases where sorting by name needs improvements.) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 352237 ***
