processes entries in anti-alphabetical order, and analysing it, i
have found that listfiles() does the same since at least Scilab
4.1.2. In the listfiles() code, there is the instruction<span
style="color:rgb(0,0,0);"><br>
<tt>filesi </tt></span><tt><span style="color:rgb(92,92,92);">=
</span></tt><tt><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">filesi</span></tt><tt><span
style="color:rgb(74,85,219);">(</span></tt><tt><span
style="color:rgb(255,170,0);">$</span></tt><tt><span
style="color:rgb(255,170,0);">:</span></tt><tt><span
style="color:rgb(92,92,92);">-</span></tt><tt><span
style="color:rgb(188,143,143);">1</span></tt><tt><span
style="color:rgb(255,170,0);">:</span></tt><tt><span

post-processing the output from findfile().<br>
<br>
May be this reversing was formerly needed after findfiles()
whether findfiles() had this reversed order.<br>
Such an effect was recently detected in linspace(), where the
compensation of a wrong upstream order had not been canceled
after fixing the upstream order.<br>
Or maybe it was for another reason. By now, as far as we can
test it, removing this reordering does not yield any trouble and
makes listfiles() output more expected.</span></p>
Does anyone know a reason for this reversion?<br>
Does anyone have an objection against making listfiles() yielding
its result in alphabetical order, as more expected?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

PS: If anyone could spend some time to build a unique full-featured
file-listing function replacing and extending listfiles() +
findfiles() + ls() + dir().., i would vote for such a more radical
solution.<br>
