Wrong sortorder of foldernames

[roy]

I use the @ as a prefix to have important folder at the top of my folderlist.
Anyway, roundcube ignores the @ while it sorts the folder on each level.

OS/Browser: Win XP SP2 / IE7

Win XP SP3 / IE7
Win XP SP3 / FF 3.5
Linux 9.04/9.10 FF 3.x / FF 3.5

IMAP Server: Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.13-Debian-2.2.13-10+etch4

Replying to roy:

Linux 9.04/9.10 FF 3.x / FF 3.5

It is Ubuntu of course, the Desktop edition

That's how unicode sorting works. Thunderbird uses the same method.

I'm sorry but all my Thunderbird instances put these folders at the top of the folder list.

Probably because you're using Thunderbird on Windows where locale definition is different.

I use Thunderbird under Mac OS X w/ en-US locale, Windows 7 w/ de-DE locale and just tried Mac OS Mail with the same result:

all folder with an @ prefix are on top of my folder list, while roundcube jst ignores the @. That means it sorts the folder @waiting like waiting etc.

Here is another test with mysql:

create table test (txt varchar(16)) character set utf8 collate utf8_general_ci;
insert into test values('Inbox'),('Sent'),('@WAITING'),('Work'),('Tasks'),('@TODO');

The querty
select txt from test order by upper(txt);
put the @rows at the top.

As I've said, it's locale-definition dependent. It works different on linux. Try to install Roundcube on Mac and you'll see.
