Hi

Nautilus doesn't "sort by name" the same the terminal does.
Nautilus sorts the directories as:

06WE
11
0910

but I would like to see:

06WE
0910
11

how to change this?

thanks

thanks for your answer.
But instead of giving the terminal Nautilus' behavior, I would like to do the opposite:

How to change Nautilus' sort order?
And by the way LC_COLLATE=C in .gnomerc or /etc/default/locale doesn't work in Ubuntu 11.04.

thanks
