Creating torrents with wine: files in torrent not sorted

[earthcrosser]

When running utorrent in Linux using wine and creating a multi-file torrent, the files in the torrent are not in alphabetical order. Instead they appear in the raw directory order as displayed by "ls -U", which is usually (not necessarily) the order in which the files were created.

This could be confusing for everyone downloading the torrent when consecutively numbered files like CD tracks get mixed up; tracker sites and bittorrent clients usually display files in the order they have in the torrent.

Tested using wine-0.9.33 and utorrent 1.7 beta (build 1355) on an ext3 file system in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn i386.

This is not just wine related, the same thing happens on Win XP SP2 when using a directory stored on an ext3 file system accessed through the fs-driver.org driver.

*Shrug* I don't see how this is a µTorrent bug. If the filesystem is returning the file list in a certain order, then it's what µTorrent will take/use. It's not as if µTorrent is doing something unexpected/wrongly. If anything, Wine should be returning the file list sorted as Windows would.

maybe let users sort files inside utorrent and stop relying on (apparently unreliable) OS?

The ext3 driver really should act like standard FS drivers on Windows.
