Description of problem: Folders/files are sorted wrong when e.g. Japanese is combined with non-CJK characters. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make an empty test directory 2. cd to the test dir 3. mkdir たまゆら らき☆すた たまこまーけっと たまこ たまゆら[BD] らき☆すた[BD] たまこまーけっと[BD] らきすた たまゆらBD 4. view the test dir in Thunar Actual results: Sort order is: たまこ たまゆら らきすた らき☆すた たまこまーけっと たまゆらBD たまゆら[BD] らき☆すた[BD] たまこまーけっと[BD] Expected results: Sort order is: たまこ たまこまーけっと たまこまーけっと[BD] たまゆら たまゆらBD たまゆら[BD] らき☆すた らき☆すた[BD] らきすた Additional info: The correct order is displayed e.g. by mc. I originally filled this at Fedora Bugzilla as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=994396 but it's likely this is an upstream problem. It's possible it breaks for other non-latin scripts as well, but I didn't test that. In Japanese it's rather common to combine kana/kanji with non-CJK characters and having files apparently unsorted makes finding them really tedious.
As of Thunar 1.8.14, the actual results are: LANG=en_US.UTF-8: たまこ たまこまーけっと たまこまーけっと[BD] たまゆら たまゆら[BD] たまゆらBD らき☆すた らきすた らき☆すた[BD] LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8: たまこ たまこまーけっと たまこまーけっと[BD] たまゆら たまゆら[BD] たまゆらBD らき☆すた らき☆すた[BD] らきすた I think the results are satisfactory, if you disagree please reopen.
