Consequently project file sorting should be case insensitive, unique

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...
Just in case the same filenames with different casing have been added to
a project, it's important to see all these versions together, and not
spread across the entire list.
Summary: the case sensitivity of a file system does not imply any
specific sort order. The same for the sort order in different
applications (file browsers...). The *display* of a file list has to be
optimized for *human* reading, i.e. case insensitive unless there exists
a special important meaning of upper/lower case names.
In the end it's a taste of the individual if he or she wants to have
units sorted case sensitive or not. Thus it is a good idea to make this
configurable as Graeme suggested. So in the end everyone can be happy.
Note: I myself prefer case insensitive sorting as well

Sven
