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.
At this point, I think we are starting to split hairs...
In your specific cas, why don't you simply scramble the file names
when you get them, so that they are unordered ?
I can do that.
But I will improve the documentation in a way that the ftplet
implementor can knows without reading the ftpserver-core code that the
ordering is not compulsory.
There are some API (for example those based on binary search) that
require ordered daata and enters in a infinite loop if you provide an
unordered data. This is not the case, but I don't want that a ftplet
implementor should waste time thinking if this is the case.
