Appart from the fact that it restores the old behavior (and avoids
breakage of some badly written scripts or apps), can you give a
single reason why the listing should be sorted?
Why not sort the output of a lot of commands (like lsof, netstat, ps,
etc.) then? Hint: probably because there is no interest in wasting CPU
time for this.
