[Mono-dev] DirectoryInfo.GetDirectories Bug

[Jonathan Pobst]

Nevermind, this function is dependent on the underlying filesystem on 
Windows.  NTFS and CDFS are alphabetic case-insensitive as listed, 
however on FAT, it is the order in which the files were created.

I will do the sort in winforms.
