The function doesn't specify a particular order, just that it will
hand you a list of files. It grabs those from the underlying file
system. It looks like Windows sorts it alphabetically and Linux just
does whatever (maybe sorted by creation time?). I don't think it's a
bug. If the order matters to you, sort it yourself.
