How GenFileSelector sorts GEOS and DOS files.
The GenFileSelectorClass, by default, sorts files by their creation date. Since DOS files do not have creation dates GEOS must hack them to have very early dates, which forces DOS files to the end of the selector listing. You can prevent this separation of GEOS and DOS files by using the hint HINT_FILE_SELECTOR_ALWAYS_SORT_ALPHABETICALLY. This will mingle the GEOS and DOS files and sort them in alphabetical order. By the way, after the files are sorted by creation date they are then sorted by name. Some spui's sort them in reverse alphabetical order.
