I believe I've tracked down the code to the directory enumeration which is used for the wildcard scanning. I've had a brief look at the code, and it appears to scan through the directory with a subscan of directories used for suffix swapping. So I don't think it does go backwards, just into subdirectories and then continues on when the subdirectory is finished.
