[Bug 1037256] Re: Sorting items by names do not work properly

 

I have similar issues but with folders as shown in image.  01 folder
should come first but does not.  It does show first in terminal but not
in Nautilus.

I'm running 14.04.3 64 Bit with the following locale settings.
`
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8

LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"

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.
