Sort capitals first

[spiros]

This could be an extra option in Advanced sort, sort first words starting with a capital letter.

Please write an example how this works, and why you need this type of sort.

Often, words starting with a capital are proper nouns and may mean a different thing than lowercase counterparts. Also, in a big file one may want to easily spot words starting with a capital, in order to fix them if they need to be fixed.

Example input:

Text
text
god
God
file
File

Example output:

File
God
Text
file
god
text

If you clear the Ignore Case option in the Sort page of the Customize dialog box, the result will be exactly like this.

It was cleared, the result is different:

file
File
god
God
text
Text

Is the Fast Binary Comparison option on?

[spiros]

It was off. Now this is indeed the output. Still, it would be nice to have it as an extra sort option in the Sort menu and/or the Advanced Sort dialog list (Sort capitals first/Sort lowercase first). I guess it is quite easy to implement.
