it's weird to me that all the people declaring that they know what the average user wants to see, don't also suggest that the computer should rename files it encounters as necessary to give the user what the user wants. if we don't have to collate as dictated by ascii, why should we expect users to live within the bounds of file names with dotted extensions? you think users care whether something is a jpg or a png? do users want to see .MOV and .mov next to each other (not because sort, because one camera programmer did it that way for an ancient DOS filesystem, and another didn't.) (unix, btw, never required that users live with dotted extensions, that was a digital knockoff/cpm/microsoft thing that you didn't understand so all your new tools enforce it even though you never had to put your code in a .c file, that was just for your convenience as the user whose needs must be respected) so, we have to have "computery filenames" but we should violate "computery sorting"? how incredibly close-minded of you, you have no idea or basis to know what users want to see. oh, and the solemnity with which you make these proclamations, ok, don't get me started on that.
