% touch foo.doc % touch foo-revA.doc % export LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 Now open that directory with file: foo.doc should be listed before foo-revA.doc, like with "ls". It's not. See also bug 20009.
Can you put the "ls" output in here as well?
% mkdir tmp % cd tmp % touch foo.doc % touch foo-revA.doc % LC_COLLATE=C ls -l total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 jmd jmd 0 Jan 6 15:15 foo-revA.doc -rw-r--r-- 1 jmd jmd 0 Jan 6 15:15 foo.doc % LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 ls -l total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 jmd jmd 0 Jan 6 15:15 foo.doc -rw-r--r-- 1 jmd jmd 0 Jan 6 15:15 foo-revA.doc %
FWIW, I do not see the desired behavior with my ls. --->ls --version ls (fileutils) 4.1 Written by Richard Stallman and David MacKenzie. Copyright (C) 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I am not sure why this is important or why I would want to fix this - moving out. Please kick me if this is required by someone.

*** Bug 209695 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Not sure if this is the same as the bug 209695 I reported, but if it is, it's certainly more important than the "why would I want to fix it?" comment suggests. It's pretty annoying and confusing to users to have files in the Open File dialog listed in the wrong order. Please see my submission and re-visit this issue. Thanks very much.
Steve, dougt is just prioritizing his work. This is a collaborative effort... you're welcome to fix this yourself, otherwise it will probably remain in the "future" state indefinitely.
