   CMD's `DIR` command by default, does not sort. It'll list   
   files/subdirectories in the order they're written in the storage. Note that,   
   NTFS stores file/subdirectory entries sorted by name. FAT-32/16/12, ISO,   
   UDF, and exFAT do not. I don't know about ReFS. AFAIK, file systems which   
   don't have any index, are not physically sorted.
