Hi, I am very well aware of the 'ls -U' option. Actually, what I wanted was for mkisofs to preserve the same directory order as displayed by 'ls -U'! I reckon that is the same order that is returned by the system call which provides the listing of the directory. Anyway, judging from other replies, it seems that the ISO9660 standard dictates that files should be listed alphabetically -- what I wanted is just not possible. Thanks for your reply!
