Them-Editor theme file name listing problem

[Noct]

I'm not certain what causes it to happen but I believe it is within the WordPress software. I was transferred to a new server and basically upon reinstalling WordPress 2.0.4 I noticed when going into the Presentation link and then the Theme Editor link, that the Theme Editor 'WordPress Default theme files' listing was out of order.

Here is a picture describing what I am talking about:

The one on the left is the correct version and this is how it was displayed prior to being moved to a new server. The one on the right is from a new host of mine and that is how it should be displayed.

I just wanted to say that this not only happens with the k2 them installed. I can recreate it with the standard Kubrick if you would like me to. I just took the screen shot of the k2 because that is what I have installed right now. However, if need be, I'm more than willing to show you a screen shot of the actual Kubrick theme doing the same thing.

It's caused by the PHP function 'dir'.

The following is noted in the manual for that function:
The order in which directory entries are returned by the read method is system-dependent.

The only solution I see would be to sort the list, which would give a fixed list on all machines. I've attached a patch that does that.

Only problem is that it's the filenames that are sorted, which leads to a non-alphabetical list, because file descriptions are shown on screen instead of filenames.

Just noticed that this ticket is a partial duplicate of #2926.

Marking duplicate of 2926.

Not sure why priority was set to high. Please be explicit if not choosing the defaults.

It seems better just to solve #2926 instead of this solution would results in a "non-alphabetical list".
