One possible reason is that asciibetical sorting causes e.g. files named "_foo" or "[foo]" to be sorted before all other items, which some people might be relying on. Meanwhile, locale sorting ignores the non-alphanumeric prefix. But I can definitely see how it can be annoying: I want "Ą" to be sorted between "A" and "B" where it belongs [in my language anyway], and the C collation would put all accented letters after "Z", which is ... not very useful. -- Mantas Mikulėnas
