Since Gnome 2.24 Nautilus is case sensitive in Sort by Name. First Upper case files and than lower case. (Desktop, Downloads, applications etc. it should have been applications, Desktop, Downloads etc.
Can I change this somehow? Its really anoying since I got used in "normal" setup.
Any ideas?

Yeah I noticed it and annoys me as well...

Isn't that been always the case with nautilus? I noticed this a long time ago before 2.24.

I think it was that way before 2.24
Anyway, I find that sorting by type makes more sense to me
Of course, folders still get sorted that way...

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

Previous nautilus used to sort in a case insensitive fashion.

Yup, previous to 2.24 it sorted "correctly" -- ignoring case. Now it sorts by "computer" thinking where A < a, and not "people" thinking where A = a. Annoying to at least not be able to configure that option.

I recently had this issue as well. Turns out that LC_COLLATE is set to C in /etc/profile (line 41) and thus making the sorting case-sensitive.
A solution I read on another topic (can't find it now) is to comment that line out (I've commented it from the export line as well):
[...]
#LC_COLLATE="C"
export HISTSIZE HISTCONTROL INPUTRC LESS #LC_COLLATE
[...]

That makes sense.
I just add export LC_COLLATE="zh_CN.UTF-8" to my ~/.profile, and everything goes fine.
It might have sth to do with the latest gdm, since it used to sort by pinyin & case insensitive order.

This last posts hav solved my problem. Thanks. I don't know which one cause I applied both. Just had to restart X and now everything is back to normal.
Thanks again

Yep, I had this issue with previous versions of gnome too. The solution as posted above was the change your LC_COLLATE from "C" to your locale (from /etc/rc.conf).

What does LC_COLLATE=C do? Are there any side effects in changing it?
It works anyway, thanks.
