These are all great suggestions, but they are not working for me on
Xubuntu 13.10.  I already had LC_COLLATE="C" (along with LC_CTYPE="C"
and LC_MESSAGES="C") set in my startup files, but I moved them to
/etc/default/locale and rebooted just to be sure.  Unfortunately, this did
not change the sorting order and case is still being ignored so that "bin"
continues to sort before "Documents", etc.

I will file a bug report regarding this with xfce.org.  Thanks for everyone's
help.
