[SOLVED] Nautilus File Sorting (Gnome File Manager)

Hello,

i read that LC_COLLATE defined in /etc/locale,conf change the way how nautilus sort the files,
i try diferent opcions but i did't found the LC_COLLATE that order:

- up directories by name
- under files by name

any idea?

i leave a cat of my /etc/locale.conf

LANG="en_US.utf8"

# Keep the default sort order 
# should appear at the start of a directory listing.)
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"

# Set the short date 
LC_TIME="es_ES.utf8"

Thanks you in advance

No need to fiddle with LC_COLLATE. And by the way, the weird sort you are talking about is just the new default. To get the desired behaviour,

• Open dconf editor (in the dash type dconf and it will come.)

• Browse to org -> gnome -> nautilus -> preferences

• Enable sort-directories-first,

If you need to do this on the commandline use ls --group-directories-first .
