One of the most infuriating things that causes me much frustration when I am using Linux is the completely assinine way that files get sorted when sorting by name. This is compounded by the output of ls -l producing a different sort order than, say, Nautilus.
Is there a simple way to get Windows-like collation in Linux so I can stop beating my head against the wall?
Symbols > Numbers > Letters (modified letters such as o-umlaut just count as o)
This has been an open issue on the GNOME bug tracker for about 12 years or so now and I assume this will never be fixed properly, so perhaps there is a work around I can do?

Sounds like you want the C locale rather then a language/country specific one.

I've looked into that but from what I've read, both C and POSIX locales aren't quite right. Perhaps I misread?

Oh ok. Out of interest which is "wrong": Nautilus orls?

After doing some more digging, I found that WINE has implemented this sort order for their purposes here: github.com/aidfarh/wine/blob/master/dlls/shlwapi/…

Also here is microsoft's definition of their own function: docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/desktop/api/shlwapi/…
