which is the same order when sorting by file name in Windows Explorer ...

Just does not make any sense whatsoever to me, too.
Might this be ...
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319827/en
I'd be more inclined to call it InsaneSortOrder [tm], Microsoft calls it "is different ... than". Very funny of them indeed ... ... well ... NOT!
(One of the 50000 settings nowhere in user interface that you have to painstakingly search for on the Internets ... Next stop after going to Windows XP from 2000 right now might be Nautilus on Linux ?? ... which amazingly ALSO has a DIFFERENT insane sort order and differentiates between lower and upper case AND you can't use e.g. "_" in front of a filename to get it before anything else ... Linux has really grown up in the last 10 years as well, they no longer care about what many people might be used to and thus usability, as well ... If you have to spend months searching for settings like these before getting fully productive again after "updating", that MUST be a "mature" operating system ... Sorry, rant over.)
Do you maybe mimic the InsaneSortOrder [tm] that was introduced with XP ?
I'd strongly suggest making this an option in XNVIEW settings ("Do you want INSANE file name sort order?" "No, thank you!"
) or at least sync it with the setting in (HKCU or HKLM)\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
OS here also XP SP3.
Thanks!
