Thank you, Marcin, for taking a look at 21284.
I apologize for mislabeling the variable. It turns out that the same erroneous behavior is observable with Emacs -Q. The `*Completions*` are in reverse alphabetical order.
Step 1: Launch the graphical version of Emacs -Q.
Step 2: M-x eshell
Step 3: cd to a directory containing files and folders with a variety of different names beginning with letters a to z.
Step 4: type rm
Step 5: hit the space bar
Step 6: hit the tab key
Step 7: The *Completions* are in reverse alphabetical order.
Thanks,
Keith
