Dirwalk has sorting rule?

K_SATO

Hi, all.
Do you know if TeamSite:irwalk has any sorting rules?
After following process, I believed that files were corrected in descending order of the file name.
But sometimes I have the exception that's not in descending order.

In document, I found it says "$dir are scanned in depth-first order.", but
I couldn't find about sorting rules.

Is there any sorting rules?

-----------------------------------------------------------
sub custom_file_handler {

my ($this,$abs_filename,$depth) = @_;
my ($wa_path,$filepath) = split /\/templatedata/ , $abs_filename;
my $final_dcr_path = "/templatedata" . $filepath;
push(@dcr_name_array, $final_dcr_path );
}

my $dir = $dcr_dir;
my $d1 = TeamSite:irwalk->new( file_handler => \&custom_file_handler );
$d1->dirwalk($dir);
-----------------------------------------------------------
TS6.0.1 on Solaris9

Thank you in advance.

I think that if you want sorting, you're best off doing it yourself.
If it's just a matter of sorting by name (including path) then you can push all the paths into a list and sort the list after the traversal.
If it's a matter of sorting by date you'll be better off using a hash of arrays where the keys are the data (recommend yyyy-mm-dd format) and the values are references to lists (which can be sorted as per previous comment)
