Which character should I use in a Windows/Linux directory name to place it at the top of an alphabetically sorted list? (lemmy.world)

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!

no judgements but I'm curious what's the need for the folder to be sorted first that something like folder pinning or tagging doesn't work for you?

Can you do that from a terminal?
