In the Windows 10 File Explorer, the hyphen (and apostrophe?) characters are ignored for the purposes of sorting file or directory/folder names. For example:



enter image description here



Does anybody know how to disable this behavior?



It is affected by neither the registry setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows​CurrentVersion​Policies​Explorer​NoStrCmpLogical nor the equivalent Group Policy setting "Turn off numerical sorting in Windows Explorer".

  • How do you want it to sort (using your example) if the hyphen is not ignored?

  • @DavidPostill Simply like any other character, by its numerical value, which is 45 / 0x2D / u002D etc. I can't fathom what's so hard about providing an option for the simplest possible case-insensitive ordinal sort, which is just by UTF-16 character value: For the example, this means: -, -A, A. As one would expect from any sort (and unlike the image above) all "first" characters are grouped together.

  • As far as I know it's not possible.

  • A correction, my previous comment should read "...simplest possible case-sensitive ordinal sort..." That is, where 'A' and 'a' are considered distinct.
