>Well, apparently all these operating systems have decided that no, users are too dumb and they cannot possibly understand what alphabetical order means.
i really really hate this framing, and i see it far too often. no, the operating system developers did not make a value judgement about their users. they observed their users to find out what behaviour was expected, and they designed the behaviour of the system to match the behaviour that the majority of users expect.
and then you made an incorrect assumption about how the system works, and decided that your incorrect assumption means everybody else is dumb and you're the only smart person in this situation?
