for file in `find $src -name '*.h' -o -name '*.cpp'
First let's avoid using "for" for open-ended lists.
There is no easy way with unix "sort" to cause the "h" of "header01" to appear before the "A" or the "B". Now if you had called it "01header.h" that would be a better design but I recognise that this is an include file and that the name is important!


Code:
# This is not the solution but does avoid the "for" problem.
find $src -name '*.h' -o -name '*.cpp' | sort
while read filename
do
           # Whatever you need to do
done

You can get the "header01.h" at the top of the list with "sort -r" but the subdirectories would be reversed.
