windwos11Can the file manager sort correctly in alphabetical order?
The current alphabetical sorting logic of the file manager is problematic (for example, files beginning with “JP-” are incorrectly sorted after “JP (alphabet)”), which seriously affects the user experience. How can I get Windows to sort correctly in alphabetical order?

In Windows 11, the File Explorer (File Manager) uses the Windows sorting and collation settings, which can sometimes lead to unexpected sorting behaviors, especially with special characters, hyphens, or language-specific rules. If files starting with "JP-" are not sorting correctly, it could be due to locale, sorting options, or how Windows handles certain characters.
