Filesystem ordering is one of the variations that reproducible builds strategies usually employ, because in the wild it happens that not all filesytems produce directory listings with a consistent ordering. In fact, it is one of the things reprotest modifies in the second build. The test suite should probably not depend on directory listings producing any specific ordering.
