You misunderstood me. You asked if it was a bug or by design. It's not a bug to sort a list of files using the CompareFilenames function. It would be a bug if it would sort via CompareText or AnsiCompareText, because of the OS X normalization. Of course you often need another sorting and people prefer different defaults. That's why I planned to add a few sort orders and store the options in the project session, so everyone can choose their preference. I simply had not yet the time to implement it. That's why I kindly asked if you may want to help there. Once a few sort orders are implemented, I agree that the default can be case insensitive. IMO it would be a bug under Linux if the files can not be sorted case sensitive. If you don't have the time, please create a feature request and assign it to me.
