I think he just wants the sort order to be case insensitive.

As a long time Linux user, I have gotten used to case sensitive sorting.
It always takes me a few seconds longer to find things in the few apps
that use case insensitive sorting.

Anyway, I think the sort order is built into the GNOME file dialog.
Changing this might involve forking the relevant GNOME library. IMHO, it's
not worth it.

It would be better to try to get the GNOME folks to add this as a config
option. The 'gmc' and 'mc' file managers have this option.
