Sorting spec file list loaded from windows directory

[ghost]

Summary: Does/Should rspec sort the spec file list prior to acting on them?

Detail:
I'm running rake spec on a windows server. The windows server has a problem that I am trying to figure out. It is not returning the directory list in sort sequence. I discovered this when I migrated a gem to this server and ran spec. It executed the files in the sequence acquired from windows. My spec's are prefixed 01-, 02-, etc... to ensure that they execute in a specified order. Unfortunately, because of the windows presentation of files not in sort sequence, rspec is throwing all kinds of errors.

I know I have a problem to fix with the windows server, however, I'm wondering if rspec should sort the file list internally, as a safety play, prior to acting on the files. That would protect itself from these kind of anomalies.

dvn - I maybe totally whack on this

No responses to this in a year leads me to believe this is not an issue for most users. Suggest closing it, it can always be re-opened if other people run into the same issue.

Actually I think #660 should have solved this. Thanks @charliemaffitt. Ping me to reopen if that's not the case.
