- source filenames are sorted when the source filesystem is NTFS
Confirmed.
- '_' is after '1' in the ascii table, the sort is valid
I see it is nominally, but the fact is that "_" as well as '`' are used in the beginning of the file name to get it in the beginning of dir listing. So if "_foobar ...
