If it's not possible to add that functionality to kdelibs 4.12, then we could add a Dolphin-specific setting for the case sensitivity for the rest of the 4.x era. In that case, the feature would not be available in the file dialog though (even now it's a bit weird that the file dialog picks up the "natural sorting" setting that has been configured in Dolphin and offers no way to change it, but that's another topic).

After reading the thread I have the impression that naturalSorting will also gone. Then what to do? Replace calls to KGlobalSettings in Dolphin with calls to KConfig? From that discussion I did not understand what is the "proper way" for frameworks also.  

It is sad that these settings will not be present in 5.0 (at least in 5.0). I'm now very happy that all KDirSortFilterProxyModel are sorted in a way that I like. It would be nice to put these settings into locale settings (and KCM), but seems like KLocale is removed also :(
