it says

Lists being sorted for end users should *always* use
localizedCompare: or localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:. Only use
compare: if the end user will not see the ordering.


thus, *always* and my pointer

That post doesn't say anything about sorting order, only how to call the sort function of an NSArray.

If the suggestion is to use localizedCompare: or localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:, then the answer is wrong. That's clearly not the (only) sorting rules used by the Finder. For one thing, the Finder sorts numeric substrings as integer values -- localizedCompare: and localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare: don't.
