For example. it goes 0-9, then A-Z, then А-Я (Cyrillic), and then... again 0-9, then A-Z, then А-Я! The folders (haven't ever seen it happen with files, only with folders) from the first and the second series aren't the same, but I have no idea about what defines which one does a folder belong to. So, having both non-Cyrillic and Cyrillic folders in one folder may lead to having this bug. Workaround: change item arrangement to any other (e. g. "By Modification Date"), then change it back to "By Name".

I've found two more bugs: - comparison function should not return 0 ("equal"), even if we're using case insensitive sorting - arguments of strcoll were truncated to a single character - strcoll doesn't like it and returns a different result than with a longer string. The sorting order now closely follows behavior of strcoll, so if there are any problems with it, they are likely coming from strcoll.

There are some remaining issues, which cannot be easily fixed: 1. 'A' < 'a' but 'ą' < 'Ą' - this is because former is coming from ascii code comparison, and the latter from strcoll. Reported upstream: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14039 Possible solutions: - always use strcoll - gives a consistent ('a' < 'A' and 'ą' < 'Ą') ordering but is slower for ascii characters, especially in case insensitive mode. - just flip 'a-z' and 'A-Z' codes manually [1] (also gives 'a' < 'A' and 'ą' < 'Ą') - wait for http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14039 to be resolved (would give 'A' < 'a' and 'Ą' < 'ą' but that's very unlikely) 2. あ < a < あa < aa < あaa Reported upstream: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14038 No solution (but hopefully this will be fixed upstream). If fixed, then the workaround in the patch (g_strconcat) will not be necessary, so we can then improve performance a bit by removing it.

They recommend using strxfrm for converting the string so that it matches strcoll ordering during simple comparison. However, strxfrm itself is pretty heavy, if we wanted "proper" sorting we could simply switch to using strcoll on all strings. So, my suggestion is to use the patch swapping 'a-z' for 'A-Z' maybe not the prettiest but it does 90% of strxfrm at almost 0 cost. 2. Weird ordering of Japanese characters and our workaround - apparently there are no Japanese language definitions in iso14651_t1_common file, which means they are ignored in the first pass and handled in the second one. They said that the "workaround" is indeed a correct way of using strcoll as there might be other ignored characters. There was no indication whether Japanese definition will be added to the iso14651_t1_common file but the bug was not closed so I imagine that still on the table. My conclusion: Current patches are doing as much as we can without sacrificing performance in ascii case (otherwise we could switch to strcoll completely). Other errors are mostly caused by limitations of strcoll in glibc (possibly will be resolved later).

It doesn't support number sort (and there is no way to add it efficiently), but should do a better job at sorting, and can potentially be faster (sorting itself is done by a key comparison, cost of collation is unknown).

I've checked that with LC_COLLATE=POSIX "ū" is after "z" I don't have Lithuanian locale installed so I can't check it here but different locales yield different results (e.g. with LC_COLLATE=pl_PL.UTF8 "ū" is between "u" and "v") Note that with patch #13 sorting is done by glib (and ultimately by glibc), so if you see are any errors they come either from an error in your system configuration or from a bug in these libraries (glibc).

So, Thunar DOES NOT sort with "ls". Also, sort order in Thunar CAN NOT be changed using LC_COLLATE. It ignores this variable, but instead uses its own "mega-wise" algorithm. What's the matter, guys?! Prior to version 1.4.0, everything was OK in Thunar.

Good idea with the optimization. Lazy hashing could make sense when other methods of sorting are used (e.g. by modification time) and only if they don't fall back to compare by name. IMHO benefit not worth the complexity. I have no preference for special characters ("#", "."). I don't know why nautilus is treating them differently. I also feel leaving case-sensitive option for POSIX locale users is OK. We should probably change the default to case insensitive sort, to avoid confusion.
