Sort order of dirEntries

[Joseph Rushton Wakeling]

Hello all,

I've just been playing with dirEntries and by the looks of it, it returns these 
entries in arbitrary order.

Is there a way to get it to sort the entries in alphabetical order, other than 
the obvious one of storing them in an array and sorting that?  (This is 
untenable because I'm talking about a lot of files...:-)

Thanks and best wishes,

     -- Joe
