I am using Cobalt 8.707 and I am using an upload field. The field is set to sort files by "Name A-Z" but it appears that is actually sorting by the filename on disk (filename in ##_js_res_files) instead of the real name (realname in ##js_res_files).

I've been tracking down the issue and it seems to be in library/php/fields/cobaltupload.php. I commented out natcasesort($sortArray) (around line 381) and the sorting works as expected now. Why is that there? That array_multisort call right below it seems to sort it fine without natcasesort.
