How to stop Nautilus from being case sensitive when sorting by name?
I have read this thread, and done a whole lot of googling to.
Yet nautilus insist on sorting my files and folder wrong (ie. case sensitive, with capital letters first), while everything else like bash and pcmnanfm does it the right way.
I now have
export LC_COLLATE="nb_NO.UTF-8"
in a file called .profile in my home directory which I created, as this was mentioned somewhere.
Before that, i tried adding the same line both to my .bashrc and .bash_profile file, without any luck.
This is annoying the hell out of my, especially since I seem to be the only one with this problem for years. Any help
edit to clarify: Not ALL capital letters come first. ie. alpha comes before Charlie. But PS2 comes before ps or PS1. It shouldn't do that, and nothing else does this. Why does nautilus behave in this strange way?

Re: How to stop Nautilus from being case sensitive when sorting by name?
I think what *should* work is setting your LOCALE in '/etc/rc.conf' like so:
LOCALE="nb_NO.UTF-8"Also, make sure that your locale is listed through the "locale -a" command.
Edit: Forgot the quotes

Re: How to stop Nautilus from being case sensitive when sorting by name?
I already have
LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8"in /et/rc.conf.
Running locale-a, however, I get.
bokmal
bokml
C
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
nb_NO
nb_NO.iso88591
nb_NO.utf8
no_NO
no_NO.ISO-8859-1
norwegian
POSIX Why are the locales suddenly written in the "wrong" format here? I know this varies a bit about distros, and potentially can cause problems. Yet when i edit the locale.gen file they are written "correctly".
