Not necessarily. For example *nix file systems are case sensitive and if I
am displaying a dict of files and directories (simulating a desktop file
list), then they should be sorted case sensitive - the way the filter
works now.
The point is, there is a use case for both types of sorting. Perhaps a new
separate filter should be created to do case incentive sorting or a switch
could be provided for the existing filter to turn case-insensitive sorting
on and off. However, changing the default behavior of the existing filter
is a bad idea. It could create some unexpected (an undesirable) results
for existing sites when they update to the latest version of Django.
