Currently file names starting with an underline are sorted as if the underline would not be there. However it is customary to let file names begin with an underline character to let them be shown at the top of a directory sorted by names.
Thanks for reporting !

I checked nemo, nautilus, caja, dolphin, ls and dir. From these, only dolphin sorted underscores first ... so it seems to be not that customary. However I would use it ;) ... as opt-in hidden option, it would be ok for me. I dont have time to work on it in the near future, patches would be very welcome !
