After this discussion and the ones in IRC, it seems to me that the
majority is in favor of ignoring leading zeros. This would also match
with Nautilus' and Windows Explorer's sorting.
And we can do that. Give that the usual browsers do it that way, it's
also what the user expects, so it can't be bad. FS#10031 needs
changing the algorithm anyway.
So, should we do that? It at least seems to be the opinion of most
people.
Ok, I've implemented ignoring very leading zeros now, and fixed
FS#10031, in my local repo. It could be committed, I think. It seems the
consensus is reached.
Alternatively we can also think about ignoring chars like . and _ (and
possibly more) in the beginning of a file name (e.g. .rockbox is sorted
under r). Just an idea. It doesn't really add complexity, but would
definitely do more than the setting advertises. But, this is also
something windows/nautilus/more do.
