[Bug 1619916] [NEW] Sort is inconsistent between windows

 

Public bug reported:

When I display a folder in the tree window on the left, the sort order
is case insensitive. If I choose a folder with children, the listing of
the children in the file window is case sensitive, meaning the capital
letters show up above the lowercase letters (since they're lower ASCII
values).

Whatever widget is being used to interact with these windows probably
has a setting whether or not to sorrt case-sensitively.

It doesn't really matter to me which way it works, but the windows
should be consistent.

I would bet that casual users would expect the sort to be insensitive,
but as I said I'm not bothered either way.

I'm on .851 on Windows 10, but this was the same on Windows 7 before I
"upgraded".
