Comment (by jcnetsys):

 I understand what you say and agree - what I would say is that it doesn't
 list them in alphabetical order (well not completely). My server is setup
 to return the files in alphabetical order (as is many) and it returns
 files that start with symbols first, then numbers then letters so
 '_file.php' is returned before '1file.php' which in turn is returned
 before 'afile.php'. This however is not the order that wordpress sorts
 things when doing it alphabetically as the above example would be returned
 in this order:

 '1file.php', 'afile.php', '_file.php'

 The actual problem is with the php function 'strnatcasecmp' which wasn't
 designed to compare symbols.

 And back to the 'you shouldn't rely on the loading order' - I totally
 agree but from a debugging point of view it makes it easier (in my
 opinion) to debug complex MU plugin setups if you can see the order they
 were executed in.
