So I think sorting in all cases (i.e. getFringePaths()) isn't necessary.
Not sorting is faster.

So a simple solution would be to sort those paths right in
leavesFileNames(). In the particular case of an array, it will achieve
the desired result. In other cases (i.e. more complex data types) it
would result in some form of order, not particularily worse than no
order. Make sense?
