What has that to do with it? Were did i mention that? Or are you just sour Linux didn't think of that first?

but still, stick with alphanumeric naming and you won't ever have to depend on collating sequences.Why not? I'm sure, renaming is a breeze and what would it matter if you are looking at zeros instead of underscores as long as sorting is correct? Did you get out of your bed on the wrong foot today, which is why you can't be flexed about it?
)But Linux is flexible. As mentioned above, non-GNOME-based file manager like e.g. Dolphin will do what you want and sort like you're used to from Windows (or mostly, Windows actually ignores a leading hyphen while sorting, just not an underscore). The choice is yours.
Hi gm,
I don't think this is to be taken for serious, it's just nitpicking... Leading underscore or exclamation point are very standard ways on Windows of sorting folders to the top. Leading numbers is more of a Linux thing (and much uglier). I guess Nemo can now pin folders to the top though.ColdBootII wrote: ⤴Mon Sep 02, 2019 7:39 am Apart from that, who names backups folders "___AAA, __BB", anyways?
Besides affecting the sorting of some other applications? No, it's safe, doing it myself both for underscore and exclamation mark. Consistency is king. Here's an example on how to do it: http://svmiller.com/blog/2019/07/notes- ... bettersort, although personally I just edited the source file directly. From my postinst script:polarvortex wrote: ⤴Mon Sep 02, 2019 9:02 am Based on what rene said, can't he just make his own LC_COLLATE, sorting underscores above letters? Or does that have undesirable effects across the os?
Code: Select all
sudo sed -i "s/<U0021> IGNORE;/<U0021> <RES-1>;/" -e "s/<U005F> IGNORE;/<U005F> <RES-1>;/" /usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1_common

which make more sense particularly if there is sufficient number of padding zeros as in Tape00001, Tape00002... now that can't be disordered irrespective of OS/collating/code-page combination.Tape2, Tape3 and 4 were copied into Tape1
How old are you? Did you really not understand that ___AAA was an example???

Tape1 without the single quotes.. Old enough not to use memes where and when that is inappropriate.
Not to get involved in your little war but that flame attempt crashed and burned. Both Windows Explorer and many/most Linux file managers will sort Tape10 after Tape9. Try again?ColdBootII wrote: ⤴Mon Sep 02, 2019 11:08 am If you're really using "Tape1, Tape2" etc. as a naming convention for your backups without zero padding, you'll end up with Tape10, if you have that many, showing before Tape2 even on Windows doing it "youuuur waaaay".
14? 15 maybe...?ColdBootII wrote: ⤴Mon Sep 02, 2019 11:08 am Old enough not to use memes where and when that is inappropriate.
You really have nothing better to do? Aren't there new levels of your hello kitty game yet?
