Just wanted to mention that the directory listing puts lowercase filenames after all others
For example: if I have 3 folders labeled "Apples", "pears", and "Zebras", they'll be listed alphabetically - EXCEPT - pears will be bumped to the bottom.

How do you modify the XSLT sorting order?
And can you consider changing the default sorting order in the future? Alphabetized-with-lowercase-names-last seems like an odd default setting..

Hiawatha version: 9.12
Operating System: Linux Mint 17.1

XSLT sorting is not the solution. The patch for this is easy though. Replace the strcmp() in src/libfs.c at line 532 with strcasecmp().

So there is no way to change this without getting a development environment set up and recompiling the whole program with this patch added?

Maybe that change could be included in the next release?

No, there is not. I applied the patch as described above to the Hiawatha source, so it will be available in the next release.
