This bug seems unique to the Macintosh version - has been there for ages (over
12 months I think)
When you open or save a Wireshark capture on the Mac, the default sort order
for the filenames is based on the LENGTH of the filename!

This should be sorted in alphabetical order, as per the Windows and Linux
versions
