Dolphin sorts upper and lower case together, e.g. it will give aAbBcC, whereas 'ls' uses the lexical order and would usually give ABCabc. The current LC_COLLATE locale variable may change this (I presume Dolphin takes acount of it, but ls definitely does). However I don't see how that would explain your example. I was tempted to think that the Dolphin output wsas ordered by modification date (which it is), but the little arrow symbol on the filename column scuppers that theory. poc
