again, Windows NTFS directories are inherently stored in sorted order 
because they are B-Tree indexes on the filename.

if this distiller process is being run from a "DOS" batch job in 
Windows, you could perhaps use something like...

    for /f %%F in ('dir /b /on *.ps') DO @\path\to\distiller .... %%F ....

to run it on all *.ps files in the current working directory in 
alphabetic order.
