[opensuse] changing file name sorting
Here is a file list of song titles - that I think should be in a different order. Is there a way to change the sorting ? In most other systems, and the way I was taught, sorting was done literally meaning: I_G....... I_L........ I'd.......... I'll........... I'm........ Not the way they are here - which appears to be ignoring special characters file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I'd_Give_The_World_To_Be_In_My_Hometown_7516.pdf file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I'd_Love_To_Meet_That_Old_Sweetheart_Of_Mine_7188.pdf file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I_Got_Rhythm_111062.pdf file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I'll_Be_A_Song_And_Dance_Man_Again_7654.pdf file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I'll_Be_Seeing_You_7344.pdf file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I'll_Take_You_Home_Again_Kathleen_8058.pdf file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I_Love_A_Jolson_Song_7546.pdf file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I_Love_My_Baby_My_Baby_Loves_Me_7039.pdf file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I_Love_You_Truly_200391.pdf file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I'm_Alone_Because_I_Love_You_7245.pdf file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I'm_Always_Chasing_Rainbows_7652.pdf file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I_Never_See_Maggie_Alone_7127.pdf file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I_Want_A_Girl_7005.pdf file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I_Wanta_Sing_Not_Dance_7147.pdf file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I_Want_To_Wish_You_A_Merry_Christmas_7699.pdf file:///home/family/fvbbs.org/chapter_library/I_Wonder_Who's_Kissing_Her_Now_8088.pdf -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler@charter.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 10 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

A quick glance seems to suggest that ' is now consistently before _ , which could suggest something about the character set in use ..... they are not been ignored.... - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

You don't say what application you used to produce the list!? Did you look at it's man page? Some applications have sort options. Other applications respond to locale settings.
