Just discovered while using Windows Explorer to view "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp" that sorting by name was incorrect. But the same listing done through the command prompt was correct. I triple verified I was sorting by name and used both ascending and descending with the same results.

I may be wrong. Hopefully one of the super knowledgeable MSFT people can chime in. In explorer, I believe the sort is based off of the value of the HEX and not the HEX itself when enclosed in braces {}. Take the below example. Which value when sorted in ascending order should be on top? Upon first appearances, {506C616E} should be on top. {63617473} {506C616E} However, if you were to convert the HEX values into the corresponding ASCII values, you get a completely different outcome. HEX DEC ASCII {63617473} 9997116115 cats {506C616E} 8010897110 Plan If explorer is evaluating the actual ASCII from the HEX, then it is quite possible that the sort is correct. I would imagine the command line is not concerned with the evaluated HEX, but just the raw characters that appear within the braces. That would explain the perceived difference.
