Re: Re: Ordering of Files upon import

[Regarding the order of files when importing:]

As you concluded it's none of the options already named.

I can tell you what it is, but you can consider the answer to be the
same as 'unordered'...

The filenames - before starting the import - are stored in a hash
table. That hashtable is then walked first to last to import the
files. This means that the ordering of the files depends on their
filenames and the internal hashing algorithm.
