Description Albert Astals Cid 2003-11-29 20:08:03 UTC 
Version:           2.2 (using KDE 3.1.93 (CVS >= 20031111), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3.1-2mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-21mdk

If i choose to order the file list alphabetically and open unit.cpp unit.h and unitdescriptor.cpp they got sorted this way

unit.cpp
unitdescriptor.cpp
unit.h

that is incorrect, because everyone knows that in an alphabetical sort, that words are sorted as 

unit.cpp
unit.h
unitdescriptor.cpp

or maybe 

unitdescriptor.cpp
unit.cpp
unit.h

depending if d is lesser or not that . 
but unit.cpp and unit.h must be together.

hmm, that works with my cvs version, perhaps some bug in your qt version, we just use the qt qlistbox sort () methode
Comment 2 Albert Astals Cid 2004-01-01 23:43:28 UTC 
Here with todays CVS i can still reproduce that behaviour, but that seems to be at qt level as the following program seems to hit the same thing. I'll report to qt-bugs and see what they say.

It finally seems that it was a feature and not a bug :-( see http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2004-01/msg00146.html
