Replying to my own mail...

Sorry, yes the order has changed. Previously the directory entries
were returned in an undetermined order. The RISC OS Filer always sorts
the entries, but from the command-line they appeared in arbitrary
order. The new code caches and sorts the directory entries before
returning them.

Having said all that, I think it is unlikely that the order the
directory entries are returned will make any difference to your
problem; RISC OS will search the list as necessary, and does not seem
to make any assumptions about the returned order.
