Is there a way to have _dos_findfirst() and _dos_findnext() return the
files alphabetically?

Right now a directory containing these files: ( DOS dir listing )

A        C             723  01-14-99 12:16p a.c
A        OUT       106,143  01-14-99 12:16p a.out
A        EXE       108,191  01-14-99 12:16p a.exe
B        C           1,118  01-14-99  8:48p b.c
B        EXE       108,173  01-14-99  7:53p b.exe
C        C             717  01-14-99  7:32p c.c
C        EXE       108,165  01-14-99  7:32p c.exe
ITEMLIST EXE       108,155  01-14-99  7:46p ItemList.exe

are returned in this order by the two functions: ( ItemList <my program>
dir listing )

a.c
a.out
b.c
c.c
a.exe
ItemList.exe
c.exe
b.exe

If anybody can help me, I'd be gratefull for anything.

Thanks
