for people doing bulk import it's important to know which files are going to be processed.
Ultimately a better patch is to pass how to sort (date modified, alphabetically, none - in this case the user should rely on the fact that Dir.glob behaves differently across platforms) and logstash e.g. the file plugin could have option "sort".
for now (if the pull request is accepted) I think it's enough for users to KNOW that files are sorted by date modified or alternatively alphabetically:
globbed_dirs = Dir.glob(path).sort
