Issue #8709 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).


Accepted. We will add `sort: false` keyword option to disable sorting.

----------------------------------------
On OS X, Dir.glob and Dir[] return an ordered list of files.

On Ubuntu Linux, they do not and one must manually sort them.

Returning a list of files that isn't in order fails the Principle of Least Astonishment.

I attach a unit test to demonstrate ideal behaviour.
