[texhax] list files with lua: windows vs linux

[aldus 85]

Hi !

I remember having read (and experienced) that we could know about the order in which the for iterator would take things.
May be a bypass would consist in sorting the list retrieved from the OS.
May be a lua forum would more adequate to place the question.

Hope this helps.
