Most of the time, as a regular user, I agree with having smarter ordering. And smarter all features for what its worth. Except when it doesn't work because of some corner case. In which case the "smart feature" becomes a kind of a leaky abstraction - now as a user I have to figure out how the machine works, so that I can trick into doing what I need. Give the user an option: have both "by name" lexicographic ordering, make it default by all means, but also provide a way to switch to an alphabetical order one for power users. Same applies to other features. It is disappointing that apps and even some Linux Desktops today take the flexibility away from users, in the name of usability. By all means, I like and benefit from all the smart features, and I want them and will keep the on by default, but leave me an option to do the simpler, dumber and more predictable things too, for the case when I need to fallback to it.
