Screenshot showing the sorting being different.

SUMMARY
Folders in the location bar menus (or when navigating through them using the scroll wheel) seem to use a different sorting algorithm compared to the Tree Panel or Folder panels.
The main difference I found is in handling of dots (".") and minuses ("-"), where dots are sorted first in Tree and Folder panels but the minus comes first in the location bar, see attached image.
There is a chance of there being more discrepancies, this is the one I ran into.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. See attached image

OBSERVED RESULT
Sort order differs.

EXPECTED RESULT
Sort order should be the same.
