Description:
------------
The DirectoryIterator class does not iterate the directory how it is
organized on the file system.


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$dir = new DirectoryIterator(".");

foreach($dir as $file) {
    echo $file->current() ."\n";
}

?>


Expected result:
----------------
[root@example fox]# ls -l
total 272

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

It does not help making the wrong bug entry several times. Instead you do cost us very precious time. Guess we have a life too.

Duplicate of #45505: \"DirectoryIterator default sorting error\" entered by same person.

Read: the file system is usually not sorted. Now, while many programs that do display fs entries sort before displaying, SPLs classes do not as that would mean a major slow down. That said, if you need sorting, you need to do it yourself.
