User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1 Build Identifier: 1.4.0 The latest version of Thunar (1.4.0) incorrectly sorts contents of folders with cyrillic letters in files and folders names. Here is the contents of one folder "sorted" by name (ascending). Looking from top to bottom I see file names starting with... * cyrillic upper letters * digits * cyrillic lower letters * again digits * again cyrillic lower letters * english lower letters * and again cyrillic lower letters Concrete example of another folder "sorted" by name: > голубь.txt > иволга.txt > аист.txt > орёл.txt > сова.txt Absoluletly wrong order. The file with name that starts with 'A' is in the middle. Cyrillic alpabet is: Аа Бб Вв Гг Дд Ее Ёё Жж Зз Ии Йй Кк Лл Мм Нн Оо Пп Рр Сс Тт Уу Фф Хх Цц Чч Шш Щщ ЬЬ Ыы ЪЪ Ээ Юю Яя Meanwhile, "ls -1" gives right order > аист.txt > голубь.txt > иволга.txt > орёл.txt > сова.txt PCManFM and other filemanagers give right sort order. So, Thunar DOES NOT sort with "ls". Also, sort order in Thunar CAN NOT be changed using LC_COLLATE. It ignores this variable, but instead uses its own (vague) algorithm. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In any folder type touch "аист.txt" "голубь.txt" "иволга.txt" "орёл.txt" "сова.txt" 2. Go out (or switch to another) folder and then go into it again to refresh it. 3. File order will be wrong. Actual Results: wrong order > голубь.txt > иволга.txt > аист.txt > орёл.txt > сова.txt Expected Results: right order ("ls -1") > аист.txt > голубь.txt > иволга.txt > орёл.txt > сова.txt
