Table 5.1 in this article, and some surrounding description, 
indicate that ntfs converts to upper case when doing directory 
inserts, so if you want to optimize the disk order for the order 
processed by directory entry it seems toUpper would be a better 
choice.

A  $UpCase  Maps lowercase characters to their uppercase version, 
used when inserting files in a directory.

Maybe a more efficient ordering for a folder could be achieved by 
create zero length files for everything, then read back the ntfs 
directory entries, and use that order to expand the files.
