Running xubuntu 9.10 Fire fox 3.6.13. When I use the file open function, the list of files is in "reverse" order with folders at the end of the list. It was at one time working correctly, but some how got changed. Also thunder bird seems to be listing mail in some kind of "reverse" order . Thunar file manager still shows files in the correct order (alphabetical). Where can I change this?

I think I found where this is set: .config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini parameter SortOrder (strangely enough).
