I asked a co-worker, and we seem to think that file
placement within a directory is based on the OS's
strange preferences; we don't know the rhyme or
reason for it. For example, try this on UNIX:
This lists a directory contents without sorting. Note the apparent arbitrariness of the file order... so, even if there are identical files in two directories, there's no guarantee that a directory listing will return them in the same order. That's the best we can offer for an explanation. rje In reply to Re: Working through directories
