Column View Mode with Nautilus Like Mac OS X Finder

nautilus

I found a feature request at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/4496/ but it doesn't seem easy to get a column view with Nautilus while with Mac OS X it's a default feature.

Have I missed something or is this not currently possible?

Marlin and Pantheon Files have column view among their features. You can see how to install them here: https://askubuntu.com/a/185503/1992

Nautilus – Change the Collating Sequence in Name Column Sorting

This answer is a workaround.
I've put this information forward because it seems that Nautilus just can't sort in the manner I prefer / want / need.

PCMan File Manager has a similar look and feel to Nautilus, yet it sorts the detaill view in a "by the column" fashion...

It sorts with most of the "special" characters to the top, and a few to the very bottom.. It is case insensitive, and is very close to what I was looking for (..."approximate ASCII"? followed by the remaining normally-sequenced Unicode Codpoint values/characters)..

It is available in Synaptic Package Manager under the name: pcmanfm
