A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When viewing files in the JFileChooser sorting on columns is now possible by clicking on a column heading. (see bug 4752713) However clicking on the Size column results in file sizes being sorted alphabetically rather than numerically, which is not in the least bit useful.
See http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~tonyj/swing/JFileChooser.png
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Open a JFileChooser, selected detailed view, sort on Size column.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
The code reproducing the issue, is:
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser(new File("C:\\"));
fc.showOpenDialog(null);
