Nemo 6.6.2

In a test folder, create a folder list as such:
2025-01
2025-02
2025-03
2025-09
2025-10
2025-1x autumn

Also create 2 text files:
_2to.txt (The utf8/ASCII character code for the underscore (_) is 95 (decimal) )
000.txt (The utf8/ASCII character code for the zero digit char is 48 (decimal) )

Now Nemo will display these folders & files in this ordrer:

2025-01
2025-1x autumn
2025-02
2025-03
2025-09
2025-10
_2to.txt
000.txt

So will Dolphin25.12, except if you choose the content display option: sort case-insensitive alphanumeric.
These happens according to locals text collation vs true characters sort.

"2025-1x autumn" is before "2025-02", because "02" is not treated as two chars, but as the numeric "2", so it matches "2025-2".

Nemo needs an extra field/option in sort preferences to allow "char by char" sorting
