Possible unexpected sorting order of songs with "non English characters"

Hello,

It seems the "folder hierarchy view" does not sort the files properly if they have special characters.

For instance, I have a song called "À Plein Gaz" which shows up on top of my folder on windows.

However on Poweramp, it shows at the bottom, after the Z songs.

Is this a "bug", an expected behavior, something that can be tweaked with a setting somewhere?

Thanks :)

That's as expected. Filename sorting is based on the ASCII character set, and international/accented characters all exist beyond the end of the regular 26-letter alphabet, so will be sorted after them.

There is a Feature Request to implement an option for "smart" human-like sorting, which you can vote for here:
