I'm not sure if this is the same bug or a different one. I am using ubuntu 
14.04 LTS. I have a directory containing other directories. They sort correctly 
with "ls -l". But they show up in Nautilus as:
    20190428_96a11107  <- wrong order
    20190428_1271f6a8
    20190428_4314187e
    20190428_a4b67026
    20190428_a9637c2a
    20190428_bd912fd3
    20190428_c7b6ee8a  <- wrong order
    20190428_c408cf3c
    20190428_ec90884e

I am not aware of any hidden special characters in the names. It is easy to 
reproduce on my machine. Just go to an empty folder and do:
    touch 20190428_1271f6a8
    touch 20190428_4314187e
    touch 20190428_96a11107
    touch 20190428_a4b67026
    touch 20190428_a9637c2a
    touch 20190428_bd912fd3
    touch 20190428_c408cf3c
    touch 20190428_c7b6ee8a
    touch 20190428_ec90884e

They sort correctly with "ls -l", but not with Nautilus.

I haven't tried a more recent version of ubuntu. Should I report this
somewhere else?

Title:
  Sorting by name doesn't work well with digits or special chars

Status in Nautilus:
  Confirmed
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  On my local disk there is a folder with the following contents:

  stefan@ubuntu:~/Dokumente/*/*/*/FLASCHEN_15cm$ ls
  0,2LMW  0,33LMW  0,5LMW  0,5LMWPET  1,0LEWPET  1,5LEWPET

  I did not include the full path for legal reasons, since it includes
  names of my customers and brand names. Instead of these, I put * to
  indicate another subdirectory.

  However, when I display this folder in nautilus sorting alphabetically
  by file name, the resulting order is:

  0,2LMW  0,5LMW  0,5LMWPET  0,33LMW  1,0LEWPET  1,5LEWPET
