Reminds me of the public service announcement that shows at root's log in in SUSE.I don't have an answer for you, but I've always been curious. I've thought it was alphabetical before . . . but always get frustrated when batch file operations never finish at Z. I thought I noticed "find" going roughly alphabetical along equal directory depths (I know it focuses on lower depths first), starting with lower-case and then upper - but I know it's not that entirely either - I really don't know. It has to be completely predictable though whether it's defined explicitly in the code or not . . . I'd love to see someone shed some light on it.
