Patch tested with Inkscape 0.48+devel r9926 on osx (GTK+ 2.22.1, Glib 2.26.1): see attached comparison of the 'New…' menu w/o patch.
The 'New…' menu was alphabetically sorted already - without the patch - but 'grouped' the user templates above the shared templates. With the patch the two groups are no longer separated and unix-style sorting (upper case before lower case) is enforced.

Honestly, I preferred the old solution (templates sorted, but user templates first, then system (shared) templates. Thus my local templates are always on top of the list... Mileage may vary of course, and maybe it's just because I got used to this. Note also that on OS X, in the native file manager 'Finder' files normally are sorted ignoring upper/lower case, so the 'New' menu in the current version from trunk looks familiar for OS X users.

To me, the sorting of the file formats in the Open/Save dialogs is more confusing and illogical than the current one for new templates.
