Well, nice to see something's going on. The sort just sucks. Why not AT
LEAST provide the option to chose between plain ascii-codepage-utf-8
-number-in-the-charmap-style sort and this broken natural sort?

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
