I wonder why NeXT decided to sort the browser bays in non-ascii order.
It seems they put alpha characters first, then numerics, then the rest of the
characters like #,_,., ... I used to name my files things like #errors just so
they would sort to the top of the browser and open panels, but I can't do that
anymore. I know it is just a minor annoyance, but someone went out of there
way to do this probably because it was decided that this is the 'NeXT' way
of doing things. The 'NeXT' way isn't always the right way.
