ExamineDirectory and alphabetical sorting

Hi all!
I encountered that ExamineDirectory lists Folders and Files in alphabetical order. (tested on windows).
Is this trustable? Or should I do an own sorting to be sure?
Thanks for any hint.

It's not at all trustable. Do it yourself!

Why not saving all names to a linked list and sort t with the sorting commands?

Nope! As far as I know this is subject to OS/filesystem default.
Which could be anything, alphabetical, creation date, physical order.

I still save the directory in a linkeslist. But I wanted to save some CPU Time for sorting it as I noticed that the results are already sorted by the OS. And so I wondered about it...
But to be sure I will do a sort myself. Thanks for all your hints!
