Re: Re: What order do my files come from readdir() in?

[rob_au]

Its the directory order by which they are returned - While this order can change depending upon file systems, this directory order generally relates to the creation order of the file entries in the directory table. The exception to this is where a directory entry is deleted - In this scenario, the directory entry is recycled and any subsequent files stored will preferentially replace the previous directory entry, thus the storage order is no longer wholly 'by creation time'.
