[plt-scheme] directory-list order?

Just sort it. -- Matthias

   (require (lib "list.ss"))

   (define (read-directory)
     (define (path< p q)
       (< (file-or-directory-modify-seconds (path->string p))
          (file-or-directory-modify-seconds (path->string q))))
     (quicksort (directory-list) path<))

I know. We could use shorter names.
