EVALUATION

Reproducible as specified with JDK1.5.0b21.  Gedit lists [A-Z] before [a-z] (as ls does), while GTK L&F mixes upper and lower case.  For instance, here is the order of four directories named Capital, Uppercase, lowercase, notcapital:

GEdit order:
Capital
Uppercase
lowercase
notcapital

JFileChooser order:
Capital
lowercase
notcapital
Uppercase

    file sorting for chooser is performed within
BasicDisrectoryModel.sort() method. This behavior
should be overridden in GTK plaf by implementing new
BasicDisrectoryModel class with file names sorting
in natural string order. Also createModel() and
getModel() should be overridden in GTKFileChooserUI
to return an instance of a new class.
