Wrong sorting order in file managers of Fedora 20
Greetings,
I am running Fedora 20 x86_64 with all updates.
These days I am, among many other things, reordering old family pictures
scanned in several occasions, by different people.
So I have folders with many, many files named like:
196511-holidays-1.jpg
1968summer.jpg
1961-july-15-birthday.jpg
and so on. The problem is that, while the files are obviously sorted
correctly at the prompt when I do ls -l, this does NOT happen in any GUI
application I've tried so far: nautilus, gwenview, dolphin... They all
couldn't care less that I DO tell them to "sort by name". They keep
showing the pictures in some other, NOT alphanumerical order, as in the
example above. Which makes it very time consuming to catalog the
pictures, of course, but above all makes me wonder if there is something
wrong going on.
I've seen around some bug reports of the same "class", like
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169883, but this seems a more
serious issue. My file names all start with the 4-digits year, so I
can't see how or why a file manager should not sort them correctly by
"name".
Any clue? Thanks!
Marco
