On modern CPUs, particularly those with double-digit CPU threads (or more...), it becomes more and more of a logistic issue for the listed hashes in the resulting checksum file to be out of alphabetical order.
For example, if you have the files:
1.txt
2.txt
3.txt
4.txt
5.txt
6.txt
7.txt
8.txt
That order would also be how the resulting checksum would list them in the older single-threaded versions (e.g. that old v2.2.3 I keep referencing).
However, it's not uncommon to find the newer multithreaded versions (e.g. your v2.5.0) to instead list them in the following order within the resulting checksum file:
1.txt
3.txt
4.txt
2.txt
5.txt
8.txt
6.txt
7.txt
This can be a bit troublesome if you're manually viewing the resulting checksum file, like you're looking for the files in a specific folder which may be interspersed with hashes of files from a different folder!
So it'd be great if there was a way for the resulting checksum file to have files sorted sequentially even in the newer versions, even if that requires using a non-default mode that just hashes files sequentially in a single-threaded manner.
