Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs well in windows or gnome you can use # ! or other wildkey at the beginning of a file or folder so when classing hem by name those will be put at the top, konqueror doesnt care about those and act like those werent there at all, usefull to demark specific folder or file in very large folder.
Works here. Steps to demonstrate: 1. Create new folder 2. In the new folder, create new files called "#foo" and "bar". 3. Make sure sorting is "Sort by Name" 4. "#foo" is displayed before "bar" What happens when you run the same steps? (SVN r519476 on FreeBSD)
well doesnt work here # are simply ignored
Some discussion on IRC suggests that it might be related to locale settings. What are your country/language settings? (And of course, the example I suggested to try is stupid, because I didn't specify whether the sort is ascending or descending)
your right my locale is set at en_US putting it to C fix that, look like all ponctuation and giggle are ignored when using en_US or other locale, i could close that actually but shouldnt that work even when using some locale ?
It's up to the locale to say whether certain characters should be ignored or not. For instance, the Portuguese locale will sort e, ê, é together, as if they were the same letter. Dutch (in some cases) will sort Y as if it were IJ.
