Directories starting with uppercase letters are sorted first (not respecting `$LC_COLLATE` ?)

[xfzv]

The directories (and probably the files too, I didn't try) starting with uppercase letters are sorted first, which isn't supposed to happen on my system considering the $LC_COLLATE value I'm using.

A quick test with some directories containing lowercase and uppercase letters:

• % exa -l --no-user --no-time:
  

• Dolphin:

Side	Plugin	Remark
Left	Neo-tree	❎ wrong sorting, directories with uppercase letters are sorted first
Right	nvim-tree	✔️ right sorting

Can this be changed? I cannot see any relevant pref in defaults.lua

Cheers

It's just doing a natural string sort in lua. TBH, it never occurred to me that someone would want to sort another way.

I can certainly add this in, I'm sure it simple enough to just read your env variables and sort accordingly.

This was just added to main and will go out in the next release. Interpreting LC_COLLATE turned out to be more complicated than I originally expected, so I just added a sort_case_insensitive option:

  require('neo-tree').setup({
    sort_case_insensitive = true,
  })
