Is it possible to make thunar sort by ASCII order

thunar

I'm currently using Debian 6 with Xfce desktop, and I can't find any setting to make Thunar sort files properly; i.e., by ASCII order. I haven't been able to turn up anything via search engines either. Is there a setting in some config file somewhere that will do this?

The normal thing to try is setting LC_COLLATE=C in your environment, but according to Debian bug 436524, Thunar does not respect that setting.

In that bug, the suggestion is to set MiscCaseSensitive to True in ~/.config/Thunar/thunarrc.

I don't know if that sorts symbols first or not, but it might help.
