Site Manager order of sites

#1 Post by filbotronikus » 2011-01-03 08:49

Why, when I look at my list of sites in the site manager it puts all capital letters before all lower case letters? So it an example of how it is coming up is:
Adam's site
John's site
Zac's site
bernard's site
wayne's site

That is crap! I have over a hundred sites in the site manager, and now I have to look for them in 2 places - the upper case half and the lower case half. This only happens on my Mac (10.6). On my windows visa machine it has in the correct alphabetical order (eg).
Adam's site
bernard's site
John's site
wayne's site
Zac's site

So when I entered in site names on my windows machine I never paid attention to whether I used a capital letter at the start or not. And then after importing the site list to my Mac everything is in a different order. Annoying!

It uses filesystem ordering. Windows is case-insensitive, Unix(-like) systems are case-sensitive.

Thanks for your reply. I still think it sucks, especially since every other program can do it right. Are you saying these other programs (including the finder) don't use the filesystem ordering?

Looks like I need to further investigate sorting behavior on OS X.

I think that this problem is due to the use of a mac-OS beacause it's case-sensitive system but there exists software to resolve this problem try to get them by making a research on the net .

We recently switched to osx at work, and this was a (slight) problem.

Please don't forget to look into it :)

All those names should start with a capital letter - problem solved.
