Mmm... I don't think I'm getting that :-?

Both, gnome-terminal and nautilus, display the files in the same order:

sm01@stt008:~/Desktop/test$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 sm01 sm01 0 jul 10 11:44 FE-OXY_colvars.in
-rw-r--r-- 1 sm01 sm01 0 jul 10 11:44 min-01_02.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 sm01 sm01 0 jul 10 11:44 min-01_02.coor
-rw-r--r-- 1 sm01 sm01 0 jul 10 11:44 par_ara.inp

I don't see the problem (at least with sample filenames you gave), but if 
you still think something needs to be corrected or improved, you can open 
a bug report in GNOME's bugzilla.
