Why should they be arranged in the manner you now wish?  Why shouldn't they 
be arranged in the manner that I wish or Andrue Cope wishes or someone else 
wishes?

How would you propose Microsoft change the operating system to arrange them?

Should they be ordered in the sequence of how they exist in the directory, 
by time of creation, by file size, by file type, by name, by last access 
time, by last write time?

No matter which is chosen there are those who want something else. 
Microsoft elected to provide the names in the order they exist in the 
directory, the order which takes the least processing time.
