Is possible to change Visual Studio Code default explorer sort, making underscores come after periods?

Question

The default sorting of Visual Studio Code shows:

Would be possibile to change the explorer sorting so that _ come after the .? Like this:

Have you looked into the "explorer.sortOrder" option for one that fits your usecase? — Wiingreen

@Wiingreen nope, not working. I tried the "type" sort order (because I want to show folders always first)... it's the same as the default sort order. — gremo

A sub-ordering of files and folders will be added to v1.57. The setting:

Explorer > Sort Order Lexicographic Options

Options: default, upper, lower and unicode

The unicode option will put the _ after the . version. I tested your example files and they switched to this order with the unicode option:

rma_request_created.html.twig
rma_request_created_for_administrators.html.twig

Thank you! Waiting for the new version then :)

A similar way to achieve this is to update your "settings.json": "explorer.sortOrderLexicographicOptions": "unicode"
