I seemed to be having some problems with load order, so I tested it by placing a file (test.js) in each folder containing only the line console.log("<folder name>") – here sorted by the OS:

  • /modules/myproj/test.js
  • /modules/myproj-accounts/test.js
  • /modules/myproj-app/test.js
  • /modules/myproj-app-accounts/test.js

To my great chagrin, this was the output in both server and browser console:

myproj-accounts
myproj-app-accounts
myproj-app
myproj

However, if I append a dash/hyphen to the two names that are moving place:

  • /modules/myproj-/test.js
  • /modules/myproj-accounts/test.js
  • /modules/myproj-app-/test.js
  • /modules/myproj-app-accounts/test.js

... it gives the expected result:

myproj
myproj-accounts
myproj-app
myproj-app-accounts

What gives???

I'm running OS X 10.9.5.

Fantastic! I thought I was missing something.

The root cause is that - comes before / alphabetically, so I think we should be splitting on / and comparing each pair of path components individually.

Wouldn't it be enough to replace / with a character that is sure to come before all other legal file system characters, i.e. anything before 0x0a, roughly?

Split on path separator before comparing files alphabetically.

We should be doing a lexicographical comparison of path components, rather
than including the `/` characters in the comparison, to match the order
given by the Unix `find` or `ls` commands.

Fixes #4300.
