In Mac OS 9 and before, you could force an item to the end of an alphabetical list by adding a bullet in front of it (�, option-8). Unfortunately, this sends it to the front of the list in X. Is there anything like this in X (except Z, he he)? Thanks.

Another missing alphabet trick is putting "!" in front of a file name to move it to the beginning of a list.
