The ordering of files with wildcards is not arbitrary; they will
be resolved in alphabetical order according to your locale. If you
want case-insensitive ordering, use a locale in which ordering is
case-insensitive, e.g., en_us.

As I'm not admin that can change locale for the system,

You do not have to change it for the system; just change it for the
command that needs it:

LC_ALL=en_us
printf "%s\n" *

how can I, say, change all filenames to uppercase/lowecase to ensure
they will be concatenated correctly?

After testing, it seems that this does not solve case-sensitiveness problem.
