I'm having this problem right now. Ubuntu 15.10, Nautilus 3.14.2. Any
sort order I pick in the preferences does nothing in Icon View. I have a
desktop where this is not an issue, and I don't know what's different
about the two.

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.
