This hopefully fixes the test failures on Alexandre's machine.
This isn't how it's done on Windows. On Windows, the order is based solely on directory enumeration, which we don't try to match in Wine. The fix is to check for all N results N times, where N is the number of assemblies enumerated.

I don't see how it would hurt if we do match the sort order on Windows, even if we achieve it by other means.

The reason it hurts in this case is because the sorting happens at the File/Directory API level and not in fusion itself. If the same logic applies, why don't we match sorting at that level in Wine?

It would hurt overall performance if we do it at the directory API level, so the same logic does not apply.

I'm not advocating adding it to the directory API. I'm saying if we don't care about it at that level, then we shouldn't care about it in fusion, and we certainly shouldn't add that functionality to fusion where it doesn't exist in native fusion.

Where that functionality exists in Windows is an implementation detail, we don't have to copy that.

I don't know the details, but this is not the mentality of Wine. The problem is if some application expects a particular behaviour, that behaviour needs to be replicated in Wine. Binary compatibility is important, so Wine tries to be bug-for-bug compatible.
This might be off-topic for this thread, but I feel it is relevant. Feel free to ignore or correct me if I'm wrong here.
