[SOLVED!] gtk file chooser sorting method

Hi, i don't really like how gtk file dialogs sorts files by name.
It presents me the (example) following:
AUPPERCASE
BUPPERCASE
alowercase
blowercase
.hidden file

Is there a way to make like the following?
AUPPERCASE
alowercase
BUPPERCASE
blowercase
.hiddenfile

I was only able to find how to make directories to show first.

Thanks.

Could be this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lo … _collation
But I have no clue to what it should be set to achieve what you want to achieve

Great setting LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8" did the trick at least for an case insensitive sort.
Thanks!

-EDIT-
For a reason i can't remember i explicitely had LC_COLLATE=C in my /etc/environment

There're other unexpected effects with UTF-8 collation (notably in bash scripts etc)
