Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
when sorting by name, nautilus puts all the folders first. This isn't sorting by name, it's mixing sort by type and sort by name. There doesn't appear to be an option to sort by name alone. What to do: open a folder in nautilus with a mixture of folders and files, which have interspersed names. For example: mkdir /tmp/testdir; pushd /tmp/testdir mkdir a touch b mkdir c touch d touch e mkdir f popd Expected outcome: open /tmp/testdir in nautilus, sort by name, and they should be in order a to f Actual outcome: open /tmp/testdir in nautilus, sort by name, and you get a - folder c - folder f - folder b - file d - file e - file reversing the sort order reverses the sort inside the types, not in total.
