I just created a new project, and it's sorting the folders and filenames alphabetically but with capital letters first. It's like (folders before files):

Abc, Def, Xyz, bcd, pqr, zeb

How do I fix this?!

Dave,

It doesn't do that for me, in the Project Explorer, the Project
Explorer, nor the Navigator views. In which view are you seeing this?

Which operating system?

UNIXish systems do look at letter case in file names,
and you're requiring the Windows case-independent way.

I'm using Eclipse on Windows, and I also use FileZilla and putty, and only Eclipse displays them wrong.

putty: application, bin, dbschema, docs, lib, log, scripts, sites, solr, sphinx, tests
Eclipse: +application, +bin, +scripts, +solr, +sphinx, dbschema, docs, lib, log, sites, tests (+ folders have a yellow box with a + through it on the folder)
FileZilla: application, bin, dbschema, docs, lib, log, scripts, sites, solr, sphinx, tests

I don't understand why some folders have + on them in Eclipse and are put in front of folders without it, nor how to fix it. I thought at first a folder I was looking for wasn't there and I might not have checked carefully if it were a big list and I was assuming things were sorted properly.
