Build Identifier: M20100211-1343

Project Explorer : projects should be sorted alphabetically.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open View "General > Project Explorer".

Create a project "Project A" based on source code stored in a directory "dir_a".
Create a project "Project B" based on source code stored in a directory "dir_b".

In the Project Explorer, Projects are shown in alphabetical order :
1. Project A
2. Project B

Now, rename "Project A" to "Project C" using the "Rename..." option (right click on the projet)

Now projects are shown in this order :
1. Project C
2. Project B

I was expecting that Eclipse orders projects using project names, but instead it seems that directory names are used.
