It's been too long and I don't remember where exactly this
configuration goes, but I do know it's one of the options for
mod_autoindex, i.e. see here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html#indexoptions
IgnoreCase
    If this option is enabled, names are sorted in a case-insensitive
manner. For instance, if the sort order is ascending by name, and
IgnoreCase is enabled, file Zeta will be listed after file alfa (Note:
file GAMMA will always be listed before file gamma).

Wim
