Probably best to make it separate operations, `strcmp()` isn't nonsense, it sorts by Unicode code point value, which is useful in some cases, and adding sorting by some locale stuff is useful in others. 

Also there is the problem of what locale it uses.  Remember files are shared around the world by github and friends, and having things sort by whatever locale the particular person editing it lives in isn't usually very sensible.

And requiring a user to restart Geany in a different locale to get the sort that a particular file requires is not a very user friendly approach either.
