** Description changed: Binary package hint: nautilus - Present in 9.04 and earlier down to at least 7.x + Present in 9.10 and earlier down to at least 7.x File name sorting has a nice feature where it ignores characters like [ and * at the beginning of file names, and sorts according to the first sortable character. i.e. [a *a ^a [b ^b *c etc...This is nice, however: Japanese Kana characters are incorrectly treated the same way, which causes them to be sorted in a completely arbitrary way. This does not happen when the locale is Japanese, but does for all other locales that I've tried. Kanji seem not to be affected, only Kana. Note in the attached picture the way that the katakana "A" characters are treated exactly the same way as the brackets, asterisk, etc. Furthermore, the two folder names at the top are sorted incorrectly in relation to each other; which gets much worse if you have a lot of real file names (the sorting is completely arbitrary and useless). The way files are sorted in the Japanese localisation is correct, though.
