Now “xxx.yyy” is always ordered before “xxxZZZ.yyy” (if xxx and ZZZ don’t contain “.”). Previously it depends on how your locale orders “.” and ZZZ, so many characters like " ", numbers, Japanese Katakanas, etc. would order before “.”.
The new algorithm is more consistent and natural.
Looking forward to using this one too! (It’s on the way soon for Fedora 41)
Shout-out to @carl and @erenk for the code and @meven for the review 
Yeah, I’ve noticed the change too. It’s definitely more consistent now, especially when sorting files or handling lists. Before, depending on your locale, you could end up with some weird sorting issues—like spaces or numbers coming before dots. It was always a bit of a headache when I was organizing stuff or working on projects where I needed things to be in a specific order. This new approach just makes everything feel smoother and more predictable.
