Well yeah... I just wasn't taking the time to address it. :)
Incidentally, if you just need to get an alphabetic list of the files
in a given directory, it's _MUCH_ more efficient to use
ListSort(createObject("java","java.io.File").init("mydirectory").list(
),"textnocase")
and of course you can parameterize either this or the directory into
an application or other persistent variable... except even if you
don't use cfdirectory, you can't use <cfparam> and still get the
performance improvement because the function in the default attribute
of the cfparam tag executes before the cfparam tag executes, so you
have to use this instead
<cflock scope="application" type="readonly" timeout="10">
<cfif not structKeyExists(application,"myDirectoryList")>
.... get directory list ...
</cfif></cflock>
