There is no bug in mkisofs.

If the file names do not sort the way you like with the number of characters
you allow mkisofs to use for ISO-9660 it is _your_ fault:

Iso level 1: 8.3 characters ---> - 3 characters for making the names unique
results in 5 characters!

If your names do not sort as you like from the first 5 characters only,
_you_ did a mistake (incorrect usage).

Unlike the Joliet rubbish, Rock Ridge is directly coupled to ISO-9660.
ISO-9660 requires LC_COLLATE=C type order in the directory and each 
RR name sticks to the ISO-9660 name.
