Description
Opening script manager, you see this:
Some scripts have uppercase file names and therefore are sorted before all scripts with lowercase. However, in the UI, most of them are even shown as lowercase so it's even more confusing.
I suggest to sort all scripts by name ignoring casing, so that it becomes more intuitive to find e.g. "open in explorer" in my case.

Research direction
Start in the script manager code and trace how script names are displayed and sorted. Reproduce the ordering with mixed-case script filenames, then verify that sorting ignores casing and that the resulting order makes scripts easier to find, including “open in explorer”.
