    Hi @skyrkou,

    I'm sorry, I might be missing the obvious issue. Can you point it out to me, is it the - character that's being ignored?

    you are correct, only with "-" there is this problem, it's just ignores it
    "." and "_" are working fine

    Hi @skyrkou,

    It might be a bug in our parser when it sees the dash. Thanks for letting us know, we'll look into fixing this in the future.

    @skyrkou @MikeT This is not a bug. When we sort alphabetically, we then use CompareString that is included with the Windows OS:

    CompareString

    Accoring to the Microsoft documentation, character sets include ignorable characters. The CompareString function does not consider such characters when it performs a culture-sensitive comparison. For example, a culture-sensitive comparison of "animal" with "ani-mal" indicates that the two strings are equivalent.

    Here is a complete list of ignorable characters as defined by the Unicode consortium, specifically section 5.21: http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode6.2.0/ch05.pdf
