Thunar: How can I get the same sort order as in ls -l ?

Hi,

I am a bit confused about Thunar's sort order, especially for files with partially identical name.

Summarized:

• ls -l always orders the data files before their shasum files.

• Thunar sometimes orders the shasum files before their data files. Especially the fact that you don't have a constant order of data files and their shasum files is annoying in my daily tasks.

Example:

sort order by ls -l:

Komet_Ison_-_Gefahr_aus_dem_All__2013-12-03_20-55.ts
Komet_Ison_-_Gefahr_aus_dem_All__2013-12-03_20-55.ts.sha
Komet_Ison_-_Gefahr_aus_dem_All__2013-12-03_20-55_00002.ts
Komet_Ison_-_Gefahr_aus_dem_All__2013-12-03_20-55_00002.ts.sha
Komet_Ison_-_Gefahr_aus_dem_All__2013-12-03_20-55_00003.ts
Komet_Ison_-_Gefahr_aus_dem_All__2013-12-03_20-55_00003.ts.sha

sort order in Thunar:

Komet_Ison_-_Gefahr_aus_dem_All__2013-12-03_20-55.ts
Komet_Ison_-_Gefahr_aus_dem_All__2013-12-03_20-55.ts.sha
Komet_Ison_-_Gefahr_aus_dem_All__2013-12-03_20-55_00002.ts.sha
Komet_Ison_-_Gefahr_aus_dem_All__2013-12-03_20-55_00002.ts
Komet_Ison_-_Gefahr_aus_dem_All__2013-12-03_20-55_00003.ts.sha
Komet_Ison_-_Gefahr_aus_dem_All__2013-12-03_20-55_00003.ts

These are my language / collate settings:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8

So how can I tell Thunar to sort like ls -l ?

Edit:
Selected order column in Thunar is "Name".

Thanks and Regards,
