I have noticed, that when I have case in sensitive sorting set, MC uses this bad sorting: 00050.jpg 51.gif 00054.jpg
When I set sorting to case sensitive, then these numbers are sorted correctly, but the sort is then case sensitive, which is something I don't want... I spotted this behavior in git some months ago As for locales, the only locale related env. vars I use are these: LC_COLLATE=C LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 > Yes, it looks like this issue has to do with your specific setup.

As I've found out in my setup, only case insensitive sort suffers from this problem, when MC is build with --enable-charset configuire option (though I think that option is now default since some time ago) > > Is there anything else I can do, try or post about my system that > > might help determine what's going on? > > Your best bet would be to open a ticket on the Trac with all relevant > information as not all of the developers follow the list.

There is already ticked for this I opened 4 months ago. http://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/1536 Perhaps just put any additional information there. Since I also encounter this misbehavior on my system and in about 3 or 4 directories this sort order annoys me slightly, I think I'll look at this bug further. When I looked at the cause, I found out that some glib functions are called for sorting filenames (with my settings in ./configure), so there is no string sorting directly inside mc used for that - in my brief look before 4 months I found no trivial way to tell glib "sort strings with number in them like any other strings" (otherwise I would have sent a patch), so I guess I'll have to study glib documentation a bit further to find a way to fix it. Note: some newer unicode FAR releases have option to use/not use similar numeric sort. Perhaps we can have this in MC too.
