OK, if you can get multiple entries from a single directory, the
order of these entries are not known because they come in readdir()
order, and you'd need to sort the output to see if you got the same
thing.  Sort of makes sense.

And this example has only one item per each recursion level, so the
order of output is predictable.  Again, makes sense.
