Anyone know why it's this way? Seems to me if I was building AS Beta one of
the first things I would have done is default alphabetically by filename how
folders and folder items are listed and provide an easy option for
programmers to list them via other methods -
set thisList to every item of thisFolder sort by filename - or file size,
or kind, ...you get the idea.
