> "normal users" are not "stupid users", with few exceptions :)

nobody says that users are stupid, how would you call this option to be
understandable though? do you think that's really somebody users want to
have to choice rather than something that should just work? adding
options for every requests would mean having thousand of options listed
which wouldn't benefit anybody and complicate the dialogs

> "normal users" learn the alphabetical order at 6 y/o when they go to
school, it's not that hard to understand...

they also learn that 11 is higher than 2 so why should it be listed
between 1 and 2?

> "normal users" would certainly use such an option, just like they use
other much less useful options for them, "date format" for example.

you are one of the first users to request for a such options in 5 years
of ubuntu, there is not so many users requesting for a such choice no
and the option would be there and complicate the dialog for everybody
else

> "normal users" already face things they do not understand (what about
the option to show the "MIME type" column for example? Do you expect
"normal users" to understand it?)

that's a good point and maybe that should not be an option, feel free to
open a bug to discuss that if you want

> such an option makes the system unstable

that was a typo, "un-usable", too many options means you have to spend
efforts to find anything

Launchpad served to forward bugs upstream when needed. Maybe my fault
here.

you can use launchpad and the bug triager will forward bugs, that is not
a bug though but a change request, somebody who don't agree on the
usefulness of the change is not the best person to open the request or
argue upstream, you should better be doing that yourself in this case
