Sort by name: AA is not at the start

I have noticed that strings starting with "AA" or "aa" are not at the start, but comes after Z. It treats AA as a single letter Å which goes after Z. Can I change this behaviour? The same problem is in Windows Explorer. Is this because my region is set to Norway?

Can you give me some sample names to reproduce the issue here?

Hello!

Thanks for your reply. I am attaching a screenshot. As you see AA is treated as Å, it goes after Z, like this (see also the linked https://app.screencast.com/DSgEVzczG8nbd):

A
B
C

Z
AA


I have Norwegian keyboard installed. In my system, the default language is English, but I have registered Norway as region because I live in Norway. Can I change this sorting behaviour even though my region is Norway?

Thanks for your help!

Best regards
Aleksandar

I have found the solution to the problem. I had to change some settings in Windows 10. I had to change the Region Format:

Time & Language --> Region --> Region Format (where I changed from Norway to English)

This solved the sorting problem both in Windows Explorer and XYplorer.

Best regards
Aleksandar
