The python glob module also implements an 'iglob' returning an iterator
so you can process files in a loop without having a list of all of them
and that might be why they use scandir(3)
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/glob.py#L121

and without a complete list of all files, you can not do a useful sort.
