Hello friends.  I have another question concerning TAR backups.

So, I'm using scripts to backup batches of directories full of image
sequences.  A typical line of the script looks like:

tar cvf /dev/nrsa0 imagesequencedir

The frames always write to tape out of order.  How can I force the files to
write in alphanumeric order without having to feed the filenames to tar with
a text file?
