Comment 23 for bug 684317

The latest version of Thunar (1.4.0) incorrectly sorts contents of folders with cyrillic letters in files and folders names.

Here is the contents of one folder "sorted" by name (ascending).
Looking from top to bottom I see file names starting with...
* cyrillic upper letters
* digits
* cyrillic lower letters
* again digits
* again cyrillic lower letters
* english lower letters
* and again cyrillic lower letters

Concrete example of another folder "sorted" by name:
> голубь.txt
> иволга.txt
> аист.txt
> орёл.txt
> сова.txt

Absoluletly wrong order. The file with name that starts with 'A' is in the middle.

Cyrillic alpabet is:

Аа Бб Вв Гг Дд Ее Ёё Жж Зз Ии Йй Кк Лл Мм Нн Оо Пп Рр Сс Тт Уу Фф Хх Цц Чч Шш Щщ ЬЬ Ыы ЪЪ Ээ Юю Яя

Meanwhile, "ls -1" gives right order
> аист.txt
> голубь.txt
> иволга.txt
> орёл.txt
> сова.txt

PCManFM and other filemanagers give right sort order.

So, Thunar DOES NOT sort with "ls". Also, sort order in Thunar CAN NOT be changed using LC_COLLATE. It ignores this variable, but instead uses its own "mega-wise" algorithm.

What's the matter, guys?! Prior to version 1.4.0, everything was OK in Thunar.
