Yes, I can reproduce this. Sorting doesn't work properly. I use Ubuntu
12.04 64-bit.

It always fails when there is a dash involved. Then Ubuntu uses a
totally messed up sorting system. In the following example, Ubuntu sorts
according to the character that comes after the dash, but ignoring the
previous character(s).

For instance:

Samurai I.txt
Samurai II.txt
Samurai III.txt

Now add a dash and characters following after the dash.
Then Ubuntu will scramble the order:

Samurai II-Duel.txt
Samurai III-Duel.txt
Samurai I-Musashi.txt

Ubuntu now orders according to the words "Duel" and "Musashi" instead of
first keeping the sorting of the preceeding "I", "II" and "III". If you
use a period "." instead, then the sorting is correct. But if a dash is
involved, then Ubuntu fails to sort properly.

See screenshot attached.
