Subject: [ruby-core:96851] [Ruby master Feature#8709] Dir.glob should return sorted file list
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2020 10:44:38 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <redmine.journal-83856.20200114104437.5a8074f5d916747f@ruby-lang.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: redmine.issue-8709.20130731012405@ruby-lang.org
Issue #8709 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).
Even C's glob(3) is sorted (by default), as @bmwiedemann said:
```
$ man 3 glob
...
GLOB_NOSORT
Don't sort the returned pathnames. The only reason to do this is to save processing time. By default, the returned path‐
names are sorted.
```

Feature #8709: Dir.glob should return sorted file list
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8709#change-83856

* Target version:
----------------------------------------
On OS X, Dir.glob and Dir[] return an ordered list of files.
On Ubuntu Linux, they do not and one must manually sort them.
Returning a list of files that isn't in order fails the Principle of Least Astonishment.
I attach a unit test to demonstrate ideal behaviour.
