The fix is as easy as removing -f from ls' comamndline. Or sorting the
files. No filesystem guarentees sorted order.
The kernel does not need to order files, this is strictly a userspace
problem, the kernel lacks information to do the sorting.

It is due to the hash. The r5 hash does not preserve any lexical ordering
(tea is even more random) ;) This is not limited to reiserfs, of course,
neither ext2 nor minix nor... support this in any way.

You can't. I don't think it will work with any other filesystem (at least
not stable).
