Title: Sort order in project browser: not case sensitive
Post by: skiwi on November 17, 2011, 10:59:23 am

It is possible to make the sort order NOT case sensitive in the project window. This would be very useful for reverse engineering databases (se SQL Server)

(Different DBs behave different in respect to case. Some are case sensitive per se while others are case insensitive.

Indeed, but the UI can moderate this behaviour.
I'd like to see an option for case insensitivity in the prohect broswer (and anywhere else where sorting occurs)

I'm trialing the software and already this is very irritating.

Hi,

I created a simple example and indeed get the following order: Class1, Class2, class1, class2, class3.

You can achieve a non case sensitive sorting on the elements names e.g. DB Tables with eaUtils free addin -> simply run the sort by Name on a package with the default non case sensitive values setting. I ran a test and get the expected order: class1, Class1, class2, Class2, class3
