Alphabetical Order & Special Characters

[bigbadbill]

When using a special character ($, #, *, etc.) at the beginning of a file name, just about any will send the item to the top of a column when sorted alphbetically. I am trying to find some that will send the item to the bottom of the column (Besides ZZZ). I'd also like to know if there are any special characters that should be avoided in file names.

Not sure if this is the best place for this thread (I can never seem to post in the right spot!)

This isn't the right place for the thread, but someone will move it soon enough.

Basically, I recommend opening up a text editor and typing in every single "special" character you can, every permutation of modifier and letter keys. Then try each with a couple files until one works (avoid the . because it hides files).

Shift-Option-K works. It makes a nice little Apple.
