in thread reading files and directories

I switched them around and the output didn't change. That's the part that seemed kinda weird to me. To my mind the output would have switched too.

    Switched what around? readdir will return the files in the actual order they are in the directory. AFAIK, most OS's don't give you any control over the actual order (though filesystems based on btrees (NTFS?) will have an automatic order.)

      I swapped the if -d and if -T statements, but either way the directories print out after the text files.
