Linux help, please

[Super Firebug]

In Windows, when I want certain files in a folder to be pinned at the top of the Names-ordered list, I put an exclamation point at the start of the filename. But I've found that that doesn't work in Linux (the exclamation point is ignored, and the filename is treated as usual), and I'm having trouble finding out what order Linux uses. Is there a character that'll serve the same function when filenames start with either a letter or a number? Thanks for any help.

Anything but alphanumerics are ignored as a part of the collation rules. Beginning with a "0" is your best option, unless you wanted to change those rules.

Thanks. I'd guess that !0 is probably the best way to go, for something that would work in both Linux and Windows.

Now if only Wine worked perfectly, or game developers made Linux versions (in the spirit of the '90s, when games were routinely issued for several different OSs), so that I didn't need Windows for MMOs. Since the successor projects are of a mentality similar to Linux's - "Screw you; we'll make our own" - it'd be wonderful if they also made Linux versions, so that my computer could be completely free of Redmond. (I'm not holding my breath, of course.)
