I'll field this one as i'm responsible!
I thought that'd be a bit more logical than the default "Sort Desktop By
Name" - to the average user this isn't clear at all. You can't /sort /a
desktop?
Of course it means to say 'sort desktop icons in alphabetical order', so
why is 'alphabetise desktop icons' a bad label when it hits closer to
the mark while being shorter? And "alphabetise" is certainly a word.
Do you have another suggestion?
