Yes, I can reproduce this. Sorting doesn't work properly. I use Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit.
It always fails when there is a dash involved. Then Ubuntu uses a totally messed up sorting system. In the following example, Ubuntu sorts according to the character that comes after the dash, but ignoring the previous character(s). For instance: Samurai I.txt Samurai II.txt Samurai III.txt Now add a dash and characters following after the dash. Then Ubuntu will scramble the order: Samurai II-Duel.txt Samurai III-Duel.txt Samurai I-Musashi.txt Ubuntu now orders according to the words "Duel" and "Musashi" instead of first keeping the sorting of the preceeding "I", "II" and "III". If you use a period "." instead, then the sorting is correct. But if a dash is involved, then Ubuntu fails to sort properly. See screenshot attached. ** Attachment added: "Ubuntu fails to sort properly" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1037256/+attachment/3290539/+files/ubuntu12.04-sorting-failure.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1037256 Title: Sorting items by names do not work properly Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I want nautilus to sort items by names, there seems to be an error when file names have " - " inside (see screenshot). I expected here to have 2011-04 to 2011-12 and then 2012-01 to 2012-07, but it sorted these to pack in the reverse order : 2012-01 to 2012-07 and 2011-04 to 2011-12 (a non natural order as 2011 is before 2012). These are years-monthes, and to resume, it sorts well the monthes, but not the years. To reproduce this bug, create a few files with the same names as in the screenshot and sort by name. The problem occurs too if I ask the reversed order.
