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. m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
