Public bug reported: When I want nautilus to sort items by names, there seems to be an error when file names have " - " inside (see screenshot).
I expected here to have 2011-04 to 2011-12 and then 2012-01 to 2012-07, but it sorted these to pack in the reverse order : 2012-01 to 2012-07 and 2011-04 to 2011-12 (a non natural order as 2011 is before 2012). These are years-monthes, and to resume, it sorts well the monthes, but not the years. To reproduce this bug, create a few files with the same names as in the screenshot and sort by name. The problem occurs too if I ask the reversed order.
