It's not the names of the files, it's the order of the files within the 
directory.  (And before you say "they're alphabetical", remember that the 
"ls" command, as well as filePro, sorts the list.)  The exact same set of 
filenames might have different items missing if they came from a different 
directory.  (Or even if you deleted one of the files, and created a new one 
with the same name.)
