Description

The "Files" view on the linux electron application sorts the files in a case insensitive way:

  • cat.jpg
  • Dino.jpg
  • dog.jpg
  • Elephant.jpg

The android application uses a case sensitive sorting, which imho is worse for the users:

  • Dino.jpg
  • Elephant.jpg
  • cat.jpg
  • dog.jpg

Could you change the android application to use a case insensitive sorting?.

Start at the Android application's Files view and inspect how filenames are sorted; compare its behavior with the Linux Electron application described in the issue. Done means the Android list orders filenames case-insensitively, matching the example behavior.
