Hi Martin ,<br>

Sorting numbers instead of digits is useful because in some work we have a lot of files with increasing number at beginning :<br>

maybe, but how do I get rid of it?<br>

In thunar/thunar-file.c change all "g_utf8_collate_key_for_filena<wbr>me" to "g_utf8_collate_key". If that solves your issue you consider adding an option and submitting a patch.<br>
<br>
We use "g_utf8_collate_key_for_filena<wbr>me" to handle unicode and to make Thunar behave like other Gtk file manager. This function sorts any numbers in file names in numerical order, which in general is a feature (Thunar's old sorting algorithm did it as well) but I can understand if some would like to have an option to disable it.<br>
<br>
