Sorry, I'm late coming into this conversation and I may not be understanding the question/answer. But if I am, then case sensitivity should be part of any sort/comparison, at least as an option. I have had many problems when it is not. aA-Bb-Cc-dD is a form of randomness. If the result of a sort can not be reliably reproduced after adding new data, the sort fails. Case sensitive sort is common. Take a look at almost any spreadsheet program and you will see that it is an option. It's also an option in TStringList. In my opinion Case Sensitive should be the default behavior of any Sort/Comparison.
