This has to do with the filesystem, even if you change the dates, the
files/directories keeps their place on the harddrive, the filesystem provides
a list of files/directories in the order they are in the filesystem, while
functions like ls/dir does sort the result usually in an alphabetical order.
When creating files, you will usually get the newest file last on the
filesystem, but when you delete files, you will get empty space inbetween,
when creating a new file now, the empty space will be used up instead of
placed last, which makes that the order isn't anymore alphabetical.
