ruby-core #96911
Issue #8709 has been updated by Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme).
It's good to sort the result of `Dir["*"]`, but as jhawthorn pointed out the brace expansion _must_ keep the same order. I have code that depends on this, and I'm sure many others also have code that depend on this, since it's the behavior found in the shell:
$ touch a2 a1 a0 b2 b1 b0
$ echo {a,b}?
a0 a1 a2 b0 b1 b2
$ echo {b,a}?
b0 b1 b2 a0 a1 a2

----------------------------------------
On OS X, Dir.glob and Dir[] return an ordered list of files.
On Ubuntu Linux, they do not and one must manually sort them.
Returning a list of files that isn't in order fails the Principle of Least Astonishment.
I attach a unit test to demonstrate ideal behaviour.
