Hi there!

I'm just wondering (very politely) if there has been any progress on
this?

It is still occuring under Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Alpha 6 and Nautilus
1:2.28.0-0ubuntu2. Interestingly when run as root/super user, the drive
order is "correct".

I think that fixing this bug would benefit the usability and aesthetics
of Ubuntu and nautilus/any other *nix distributions that use it.

Additionally, if the nautilus team wanted to add extra features and at
the same time fix the bug, they could have an option to sort by
something like:

* Alphabetical (A-Z)
* Reverse Alphabetical (Z-A)
* UUID
* Volume Size (Increasing)
* Volume Size (Decreasing)

... etc

Please see attachment (where menthurae/left side shows non-alphabetical
drive order and root/right side shows alphabetical drive order).

** Attachment added: "Screenshot showing nautilus drive order between a normal 
user and root. Normal user is not sorted alphabetically, whereas root is. This 
inhibits the useability of nautilus and detracts from the aesthetics of all 
OSes using it."
