I'm using ASP Linux at home (FC1 based) with ext3 file system. I should try this
at work (SuSE 9.1) with reiserfs.

I was referring to iShellFolder2::GetDefaultColumn function. But you could be
right and this is nothing more then file system's way of storing files.

I know FAT will allocate first unused/deleted dir entry. But a new directory
will always start empty.

I have set a fix in which sorts all entries first - the part I was trying to fix
in the first place ;-)
