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

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.
It's harmful for those ftplet implementations that are not designed to
be used for any clients and don't want implement ordering.
It could be a suggestion but il should not be a MUST requirement.
