<div dir="ltr">yes, I agree sorting should be explicit as there's no natural order.<div>However sorting after calling dirEntries is not great as typically one wants to sort within a given directory level and it's too late to sort once all the directory levels are flattened. </div>
<div>so how about having an extra argument that takes a lambda (eg binaryFun!"a<b") in dirEntries, or, having an additional function in std.file that takes such lambda.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>

</div>Does 2.jpg come after 10.jpg ? What's the order of<br>
