A standard command line FTP Client doesn't do any ordering of the list

Then I think that this should be a suggestion for the ftpclient
implementation not a MUST requirement.
The command line FTP client is pre-installed on millions of
computers across the world. The major OS vendors are not going to
start implementing filename sorting within those clients.
I'm suggesting to change the Javadoc should say:
I don't agree. The ordering is beneficial to all the clients that
don't support it and harmful to none. Clients that do support
ordering are therefore capable of getting the list of files and
re-ordering them according to the requirements of the client user.
