Description:
------------
RecursiveDirectoryIterator() with RecursiveIteratorIterator() not sorting all values by name like on Windows. Try script below on Windows and Linux. This should be sorted by default by name folder and subfolder then next filename. Fix this. I tessted this on PHP 5.5.24 Linux and 5.4.8 Linux and 5.6.11 Windows

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$MójFolder = __DIR__;
$Pliki = array('Pliki'=>array(), 'Foldery'=>array());

$SkanerKatalogówIPlików = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($MójFolder, RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
$SkanujWszystkiePodkatalogi = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($SkanerKatalogówIPlików, RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);

foreach($SkanujWszystkiePodkatalogi as $WszystkiePlikiIFoldery){

    if($WszystkiePlikiIFoldery->isDir()){
        $Pliki['Foldery'][] = $WszystkiePlikiIFoldery .'/';
    }elseif($WszystkiePlikiIFoldery->isFile()){
        $Pliki['Pliki'][] = $WszystkiePlikiIFoldery->getPathname();
    }
}

#print_r($Pliki);

return $Pliki;

Expected result:
----------------
Add sorting by name example:
folder/subfolder1/filename.php
folder/subfolder1/filename1.php

The manual does not guarantee anything about the order. RecursiveDirectoryIterator (and the other filesystem based iterators iterate in the order the OS returns the files to them.
That it is sorted on Windows is not guaranteed by PHP, it just seems to happen due to the underlying implementation in the Windows kernel.

So this must be changed. Fix is simple PHP send request filesystem to system, next PHP sorting all files and folders with subfolders then output results to user. This is annoying error(if this is no bug) when You work on Windows and You try start Your app on server(Linux) like I do. Changing OS is not a solution!
