Thunar ignores space character when sorting files/folders

I use Thunar 4.18.8 on Linux Mint 22+XFCE and I found out, that Thunar sorts files/folders different, when there is a space in the name.

Thunar sorts like this:

  • test a
  • testa
  • test b
  • testb
  • test c
  • testc

What I am used to from other file browsers like Nemo (Cinnamon) or Explorer (Windows) is like this:

  • test a
  • test b
  • test c
  • testa
  • testb
  • testc

So is this a bug or a feature?
