[ROOT] Sorting the directory content

Hi roorters,

    I have found in the Root Search web page, a small macro to list the 
directory files:

  void *dirp = gSystem->OpenDirectory(directory);
  const char *afile;
  while(afile = gSystem->GetDirEntry(dirp)) {
      printf("file: %s\n",afile);
  }

    My problem is that the showed list of files is not sorted 
(equivalent Unix comand: "ls -f"), neither alphabetically nor 
chronological order. How could I display the directory content in 
alphabetical or chronogical order?.

    Thank you in advance.

    Regards:    Raquel
