EVALUATION Reproducible as specified with JDK1.5.0b21. Gedit lists [A-Z] before [a-z] (as ls does), while GTK L&F mixes upper and lower case. For instance, here is the order of four directories named Capital, Uppercase, lowercase, notcapital: GEdit order: Capital Uppercase lowercase notcapital JFileChooser order: Capital lowercase notcapital Uppercase ###@###.### 2003-09-30 Name: anR10225 Date: 10/08/2003 file sorting for chooser is performed within BasicDisrectoryModel.sort() method. This behavior should be overridden in GTK plaf by implementing new BasicDisrectoryModel class with file names sorting in natural string order. Also createModel() and getModel() should be overridden in GTKFileChooserUI to return an instance of a new class. ======================================================================
