You may have more chance directly looking with the thunar-dev application mailing list instead of Archlinux, which is an operating system. On Jul 31, 2012, at 6:18 PM, brainworker@lavabit.com wrote:
Hello, folks, once again.
Maybe somebody of you encountered with that problem in thunar. ...especially if you use cyrillic letters in file and directory names.
So, I have installed the latest version of thunar (1.4.0), and it incorrectly sorts contents of my folders. I can not even understand the way thunar sorts content of any folder.
The "sort order" by name in one directory is following (ascending) (from top to bottom):
* cyrillic upper letters, * hidden (dot) files, * digits, * lower cyrillic letters, * english lower letters, * again cyrillic lower letters, * english lower and upper letters (together) insensetive to case.
The "sort order" by name in another directory is following (ascending) (from top to bottom):
* cyrillic upper letters, * digits, * cyrillic lower letters, * again digits, * again cyrillic lower letters, * english lower letters, * and again cyrillic lower letters.
Before version 1.4.0, everything was OK. So what happened to thunar? Why such an "improvement"?
