Setup folders: sort case insensitive

25 votes

The Setup folders are currently sorted case-sensitive. This results in folders starting with lowercase letters being sorted after folders starting with uppercase letters.
This is also true for drop-down lists in e.g. rule conditions.

At the moment folders are sorted like follows: A,B,C,a,b,c
This should be: A,a,B,b,C,c

The default sort order should be in general "Natural sort order" which is more human-friendly:

1
2
11
a
a1
a2
a12
A
b
B
