::: That's what <code>[http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TclCmd/lsort.htm#M6 lsort -dictionary]</code> does. (Well, it also handles case a bit differently, treating it as a second-order difference rather than the usual first-order difference.) It was added because it is the mode which “puts filenames in the order that the user expects”, making it much easier to produce a nice GUI to use. (FWIW, I'm not doing the ligature normalization stuff because that's a lot of work to do right and it's an area where Tcl needs more work; I forget the Request For Enhancement number. :-)) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 11:17, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
