List Sorting in IE10 - Is This a Bug or Another Change in Direction?

Question

I've noticed that in menus folders and files are sorted in an intermingled fashion now in IE10 - for example in the Favorites menu.  Folders always sorted above files in prior versions.

 

Consider these examples, one from IE9 and one from IE10:

 

 

 

Is this a general change in direction, or just a glitch with the pre-release software?  If it's the former, it's NOT a good move.

Noel Carboni,

Thank you for posting your feedback, we want to make sure we get the right info including your log files. Can you also submit feedback using the Windows Feedback Tool from the Connect Site associated with your Windows Developer Preview program? If you’re an MSDN subscriber, the information on how to join the Connect program is included on the download page where you installed Windows Developer Preview. There’s a link to the Connect site and an invitation code that you can click on to join using a Windows Live ID account. If you’re not an MSDN subscriber follow this limited use linkto join the Connect program and then follow the steps here.

 

In case the link above gets messed up, the URL is below:

If there are any questions let us know.

Answer 2

Thanks.  I have the feedback tool and will use it.  I just didn't know whether I should verify that what I was seeing is a bug or by design before using it.
