Hi,

I updated my Lazarus to the latest Trunk revision. I see there is now
a "sort files alphabetically" option in the Project Inspector.

Unfortunately the sorting seems to be case-sensitive. So units with
capital letters appear before units with lowercase letters. Was this
done by design, or simply an oversight?

Design. It sorts file names, so case sensitive under Linux and case
insensitive under Windows and OS X.

IMO a project contains *units* in the first place, and unit names are
case insensitive. It's not allowed to add a unit twice, with only
different filename case.

Consequently project file sorting should be case insensitive, unique
across platforms.

But the project inspector does contain the *file* names and not the *unit* names. And these *can* be different (not only in casing), though I personally don't know anyone who uses the "-Un" option which is necessary for this...

Regards,
Sven
