How to let dir "_ZZZ" sort before dir "ABC"? Thanks!

Hi!
I found that new version Thunar will ignore the prefix '_' and mix together like these:
ABC
_ABD
ABE
_ZZZ

But I want it sort dirs as old version Thunar and Konqueror did like these:
_ABD
_ZZZ
ABC
ABE

I have try one day on the source code, but I didn't success.

Can some one tell me how to set up or modify the source code? Thanks!

What version of Thunar are you using?

thunar -V

What is LC_COLLATE set as?

locale

Does the following help?

thunar -q
LC_COLLATE=C thunar

if so, set LC_COLLATE=C in your environment. Otherwise, you'll need to file a bug report.

Apparently, you can also set:

[Configuration]
MiscCaseSensitive=TRUE

...in ~/.config/Thunar/thunarrc. However, I can't seem to get this setting to work. YMMV.

YMMV? Hahahaha~~~~~
My OS is Fedora20, Thunar version is 1.6.3.
I have try created a ~/.config/Thunar/thunarrc and set MiscCaseSensitive=TRUE, it doesn't work.
But, use "LC_COLLATE=C thunar" can get the result that I want, yeah! Thank you, you r so handsome.
