Hrm.  Does the inode ordering also affect stat() times?

This sounds less like something to expose as a sort ordering for the o/O
qualifiers and more like something to hide under the covers, e.g., so
that "oN" (unsorted) actually produces order by inode, instead of the
apparently pseudo-random order of readdir().

How close does "oc" get you to this?
