Which character should I use in a Windows/Linux directory name to place it at the top of an alphabetically sorted list?
Currently I'm using #, but it causes issues with certain applications.
Example:
#Top Folder
Games
Music
New Folder
Pics
Currently using mostly Windows, but trying to transition to Linux, so a solution that works for both would be perfect.
Thanks, Lemmy!

Generally underscore _ works best for this, and should be viable for both OSes.
Personally, my brain manages to filter out anything with a leading underscore (I don't know the origin offhand, I think some system I worked with at some point used those on files that I knew I didn't care about). So when coworkers use leading underscores it slows me down a bit.
It does work though
Yes, underscores or leading digits (for ordering eg. 000_ 001_ 002_) works well.
