making things like that filesystem specific doesn't look very nice to me. You could by the way not always easily find out which filesystem is used, think about bind mounts ... On the other hand sorting the inodes doesn't look very filesystem specific and I don't think it will make any bad things on any POSIX compliant filesystem I can think of. I think people should test it with different filesystems and that should be fine.
