Make the file name sort in file explorer case-insensitive

WereCougar · Post by **WereCougar** » Tue Oct 23, 2007 5:02 pm

In the file explorer, I have files sorted by file name. But, the file list is case-sensitive, so I get something like this:

- PaymentTracking.php
- SendPayment.php
- add_files.php
- delete_files.php

It took me a while to figure out why "P" and "S" would come before "a:" Upper-case file names always come first, even if they are out of alphabetical order. Not a bug, just not an expected behavior.

In a folder of 100+ files, it gets a little hard to find files. And, no, I cannot go back and rename all those files to be consistently-capitalized.

My Version: RapidPHP 8.2.0.79

Ok, will take a look, no prob.

Just a personal note - I think it is better to maintain consistency and name all files using the same case, because LUNIX systems are case sensitive.

First time I've seen 'Lunix'. Unix, and Linux, but this is a new strange hybrid!

Edit: Actually, Lunix is an OS for the Commodore 64! (link...)

That's just awesome. Plus, from their page:

Preemptive multitasking (up to 32 tasks, 7 priorities)

Holy crap! On a C-64?! That's hot.
