From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

it's so confusing that the order changes when adding IDENTICAL strings to BOTH filenames. Is this really how it's supposed to be?

Doing it the way a person would requires the file manager to understand context, which requires a lot more logic for arguably little benefit.

I'm so glad KDE Dolphin has a "natutal sorting" option. Not sure about this specific case, but I have never been surprised by the order with that setting.

Would be interesting to check the code behind it.

It's an API call which emails a guy who just does it real fast by hand
