samba - Aug 2008 - dos dir list issues

i have a samba running on the linux file systems.
from a windows box i mapped(z:)  to the linux file systems.
 
from the command prompt when cd to z: and make a dir 
 
the output  is not sorted by the name where as on linux it is coming fine.
 
dos ex:
Z:\5_8_0_5\Base\TravelersCL>dir *.sql Volume in drive Z is oracle Volume
Serial Number is 7B2F-0877
 Directory of Z:\5_8_0_5\Base\TravelersCL

PM               115 1000_DB_ENV.SQL
 
 
from linux
[oracle@rhel_srini TravelersCL]$ ls -l *.SQL-r-xr--r--  1 oracle oracle  115 Aug
11 17:14 1000_DB_ENV.SQL-r-xr--r--  1 oracle oracle 2401 Aug 11 17:14
6000_COMPILE_STATUS.SQL
why is the sort order different for the client
 
thanks

There is no guarenteed sort order in directory listing
from CIFS.
