Dolphin displays some files in the incorrect sort order (in the shell, ls works fine).

For a minimal working example, suppose I have two files:

Code:

artist_-_title.ext
artist_-_title_remix.ext


The first item should appear before the second, but dolphin displays (using an alphabetical sort, of course) the second item first. Someone told me that nautilus displays the items in the correct order, which points to qt5 (and its dependency icu) as the culprit.

Any thoughts on this (ways to work around it, confirmation that it does not work correctly, to whom should I report this)? Thank you in advance.

I would start by checking the environment variables for ls and dolphin to verify that they have been given the same collation order. If one is sorting according to "natural language" rules and the other is sorting according to C locale, you can get different results like this, and it's not a bug, just inconsistent configuration. This could happen if your shell startup files assign a specific collation order, and Dolphin inherits one from your login manager. If they are both set to the same collation rules, and they are collating differently anyway, then that is a bug.
