Yes, NTFS uses a B-Tree and, by default, returns files in alphabetical
order. UNIX file systems typically don't sort files and there are no
options to get a ZFS directory listing from the CIFS Service in
alphabetical order.
In the cmd window, try dir /O.
/O List by files in sorted order.
sortorder N By name (alphabetic)
S By size (smallest first)
E By extension (alphabetic)
D By date/time (oldest first)
G Group directories first - Prefix to reverse order
Dependent on your applications, perhaps it may be possible to interpose
filter or script to pre-process the directory listings on Windows.
