How thunar orders, should and could order elements.

Hi!

I noticed some errors when shorting folder elements. Most of all when symlinks are involved.

My "shorting" configuration in thunar is order by TYPE and ASCENDANT.

And this is what happens and what I'm specting to happen (202003_folder should be after 2019XX_folders). Also a suggestiong of a way of improvement (include folder symlinks in folder group)

Thanks!

It's partially the same.

In my case, the folders doesn't short fine, but including symlinks.
I mean: it should be fine to order folders like "ls", but also include folder symlinks as regular folders.

Thanks a lot!! ;)
