This isn't about load balancing at all. It's just about avoiding
to have 20000*n files on one directory level, which would be painful
for computer and humans. Sorting from the left is actually better
than your suggestion, as the likeliness that all of LO?? ends up
in the file cache (-> read-ahead) would be an advantage, while having
all of ??XA in the cache doesn't buy you anything. Apart from that
both are equivalent.
