Our browsers on OS2 (and Windows) are application browsers, not standard 
OS browsers.
Using CMD.EXE on Windows or CMD.EXE on OS2 we do have to use the dir /on 
option to have a alphabetically sorted directory list.

I think in Windows it does, but I don't think the clients depend
on this (I vaguely recall a test that proved this was not mandatory...,
can't remember the exact details though).

Explorer and cmd.exe certainly do this - but I think the
person with the problem is using OS/2 clients, which don't.
