I've been using WinBTRFS with my modded KSP install and have recently noticed that directory listings with WinBTRFS are non-alphabetical. This has caused some issues with ModularManager due to how AssemblyLoader (the core KSP component) works. I don't wish to use NTFS on my external drive, as it needs to be accessible via Linux. I have, however, noticed this issue on Linux as well.
For example, see the following from a log on startup on my `D:\` drive (WinBTRFS)
[LOG 15:25:04.488] Load(Assembly): /ModuleManager.4.2.3
[LOG 15:25:04.488] AssemblyLoader: Loading assembly at D:\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\ModuleManager.4.2.3.dll

I believe that this out-of-order loading, which is not shown in this log from startup of the same install, copied to my `C:\` drive (NTFS, which has near-alphabetical sorting of directory listings):

This difference in load order causes issues with ModuleManager and almost all KSP mods with dependencies, as they rely on this order.
I apologize if this is the wrong place for this; I would greatly appreciate it if someone would direct me to the right place if so.
