Description
I'm using folder names with brackets for sorting my music.
Unfortunately, NEMO sorts by the first alphanumeric character, making my naming obsolete.
So this is what I get:
- Adam
- (drum&bass)
- Efterklang
- (Klassik)
- [mixes]
- Opl Bastards
- [playlists]
- Ypsilon
- Zeppelin
Instead of what I want:
- (drum&bass)
- (Klassik)
- [mixes]
- [playlists]
- Adam
- Efterklang
- Opl Bastards
- Ypsilon
- Zeppelin
I tried adding things to /etc/default/locale but no success.
Any hints?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the sorting behavior in Nemo with the bracketed and alphanumeric folder names shown in the report, then investigate how Nemo currently applies locale-aware sorting. The issue names no source files or tests; done would require a defined way to configure or correct ordering for names beginning with special characters, with regression coverage if an existing test area is found.
