Interesting. I can see your point. However do you use w32? Do you not find it disturbing then that the ordering of files are different in Emacs than outside Emacs on w32? Maybe you never leave Emacs? But for newbies who are used to other apps under w32, would it not be easier for them to adopt to Emacs if the default ordering was the same as for other apps? And those of us (I know now) who can change it, can't we just do that?
