I hope someone familiar with the way Linux processes files can enlighten me on the following: ... On the Windows server, Distiller processes the files by filename order:

Windows NTFS uses B-Tree for its directories so they are inherently alphabetically sorted.
If the linux FS is efs2, maybe the "dir_index" option of mke2fs will doo what you want? See "man mke2fs". It says it uses hashed b-trees, but for speed.
