Comment (by bonefish):

 Other sorting issues I've noticed:
  * The list sorting in the Keymap preflet doesn't seem to work at all.
  * In Pe the list of the programming language popup in the info window is
 also reversed.

 I don't know, if that is actually the case, but a possible explanation
 could be that in all those cases the application doesn't sort the list at
 all, but rather just fills it as it reads the entries from a certain
 directory (keymap files, add-ons). I believe BFS's on-disk structures
 require/imply directory entries to be sorted while that is not the case
 for packagefs.

 If this assumption is correct then the issue is actual a bug/missing
 feature in the concerned applications. One that also exists in the non-PM
 Haiku, though it may be less visible. I guess it can still be observed
 when setting a locale whose sorting doesn't agree with BFS's.
