Try this in an empty directory: ~ touch A b C d Then try Nautilus in that directory with LC_COLLATE="C". You'll see this order: A b C d instead of the right one: "A C b d". It doesn't matter whether the first character in the name is a "." or not. That "simply sorts..." sentence would require a quite complex and weird code in the Nautilus sources, though.
