Instead of doing this on a per dialog basis, I think we need a global preference (in the prefs dialog) with three radio button:

Then we could get rid of the new case insensitive check box in the ref dialog.

Won't this disallow the flexibility to switch between types of sorting? For example, I may name frequently used refs with upper case but I may like to sort case-insensitively at other times to locate some refs faster. If this is made a global pref it'd be tough to change quickly.

Right... I assumed that one won't change this kind of things very often (I don't). OK, forget about it then.


On a per-dialog basis, we could consider a label+combo box to allow various options to prevent widget over-crowding:

Sort: [sort combo box [V]]

where the sort combo box lists the following options:
* Disabled
* locale-aware
* case sensitive (non locale-aware)
* case-insensitive (non locale-aware)

This widget-couple can be planed into the refs dialog and the TOC outline UI.

That could work indeed. The only drawback is that you would need two clicks in order to change a sort option instead of one now...
