OK, so you're copying files to a backup server. Why is the transfer order important? The filesystem doesn't care. The OS doesn't usually care. Any application shouldn't care, except maybe if it processes the files as they come in, and that can be solved with intelligent programming.
Mind you, I'm not trying to promote rsync or talk down any other backup software, I'm just trying to find out what you want and where your requirements come from.

BACKUP-MANAGER-PURGE(8) backup-manager-purge BACKUP-MANAGER-PURGE(8)
NAME
backup-manager-purge - backup-manager's wrapper for outdating files
SYNOPSIS
backup-manager-purge [TTL] <options>
DESCRIPTION
backup-manager-purge is the only authorized entity that can say if an archive should be purged or not. Any tasks used by backup-manager may
have to know if an archive is deprecated (eg: the purging phase of an upload method). This tool is here to fulfill that need.
Given a time to live (TTL) and a list of archives, backup-manager-purge will return another list of archives, corresponding to the ones
that are outdated by the TTL.
REQUIRED ARGS
--ttl=time-to-live
Specify the time to live (in days) for the archives. Any archive that is older than ttl days will be outdated.
OPTIONAL ARGS
--files-from=file
A file containing a list of archives to parse, one archive per line. If this option is not used, STDIN will be used for catching the
files to parse.
RETURN
backup-manager-purge will return the list of outdated files on STDOUT, one file per line.
ERROR CODES
If an error occurs, it will print the error message on stderr and will exit with an error code greater than 0.
Here are the possible error codes:
bad command line (wrong arguments) : 10
internal error (should be reported as a bug) : 20
