Wrong extension sort

[commodore]

Not sure if this is a bug, but today I've noticed that (Linux) dot files are sorted in the opposite of alphabetic order (I have sorting by Name turned on). It became evident when I was checking contents of a folder copied from Linux, containing lots of "dot files". If I choose sorting by Extension, they are sorted correctly, though.

If it's by Name, it's e.g.:
.filter
.bashrc
.autorespond-loopprotect
.addressbook
etc.

I'm pretty sure they used to be in alphabetic order, like regular "Windows" files, even when sort by Name was chosen.

Hello, commodore.

Behaviour confirmed.

If I have not missed another thread dedicated to the same issue, sorting of filenames which
+ consist of the .extension only or
+ which do not have an extension at all, but start with a dot
depending on which way you wish to look at it,

then the last statement by Christian is this:

Ah, verstehe - ich werde das untersuchen.

Oh, I see - I will investigate it.

(translation by me)

Kind regards,

Yes, apparently due to conversion to Unicode and it'll be fixed in 7.51:

(Funny I can't find the thread I found yesterday right after posting mine. Google walks mysterious ways. )
