Without voting (and without looking at the text of the request), I suggest that
you ask for a collating sequence option, as shell provides (on OMVS):

user@HOST: touch camel cat canary Camel Cat Canary CAMEL CAT CANARY

user@HOST: LC_ALL=C ls -1  # POSIX C case sensitive
CAMEL
CANARY
CAT
Camel
Canary
Cat
camel
canary
cat

user@HOST: LC_ALL=en_CA ls -1  # Literarty English collating sequence
camel
Camel
CAMEL
canary
Canary
CANARY
cat
Cat
CAT

(But this does require LE, and developers are loath to require LE.)
