From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is this how alphabetical order is supposed to be? Nemo file manager (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

it's so confusing that the order changes when adding IDENTICAL strings to BOTH filenames. Is this really how it's supposed to be?

What you're looking for is version sort. Here's how ls -1v sorts those files in the terminal, for example:

Link Click S01E04.mkv
Link Click S01E05.mkv
Link Click S01E05.5.mkv
Link Click S01E06.mkv

Nemo might be able to support version sort by way of a plugin, but I have not found one. The nnn CLI file manager supposedly supports version sort.
