Re: File sequence in Scott's FTP_list API

FTPAPI receives a list of files from the server, and returns them to your 
program in the exact same order that the server sent them.

Is this sorted in any way?  I don't know.  You'd have to ask the people 
who wrote the server software. I suspect that every FTP server software 
handles this differently, so it might be sorted for some systems and not 
for others.
