            Bug ID: 6156
           Summary: File Sorting Order Doesn't Match OS
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 4.9
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: Mercurial
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: bugreporter5367 at protonmail.com
                CC: mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org

Windows uses a case insensitive sort when listing files.
```
aaa.txt
ABC.txt
and.txt
ART.txt
as.txt
```

Mercurial instead uses a case sensitive sort.
```
>hg status
? ABC.txt
? ART.txt
? aaa.txt
? and.txt
? as.txt
```

Shouldn't Mercurial match the OS default sort here? Or should users have an
option to use OS sorting rules in mercurial.ini?
