Does Dir.glob guarantee the order?

Question

Ruby docs don't mention this.

Does Dir.glob("*") guarantee the order of the files it returns, or do I need to sort them myself to be certain?

Answer 1

No. Not if you're moving across OSes: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=12795&group_id=426&atid=1698

Answer 2

If the docs don't say it, then there is no guarantee, and you need to sort it for yourself. Even if it works in your current ruby, it may not in your next.
