I wonder why NeXT decided to sort the browser bays in non-ascii order. It seems they put alpha characters first, then numerics, then the rest of the characters like #,_,., ... I used to name my files things like #errors just so they would sort to the top of the browser and open panels, but I can't do that anymore. I know it is just a minor annoyance, but someone went out of there way to do this probably because it was decided that this is the 'NeXT' way of doing things. The 'NeXT' way isn't always the right way. Richard V. Nash -- Richard V. Nash nash@vi.ri.cmu.edu -- Richard V. Nash nash@vi.ri.cmu.edu

They had to change the sort order anyway as soon as they support foreign, i.e. 8bit character sets. I would be surprised if the new ordering would not conform to some international standart.
