Works for me.

The sorting is done by:

----------
unset LANG LC_COLLATE LC_ALL
...
for F in $(ls $1); do
----------
i.e. we are relying in on ls to do correct sorting. Afaict all
variants of ls I can come up with (/bin/ls and the builtin version
from bash) handle 
30_exim4-config_remote_smtp
30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_rb
30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_smarthost
correctly.

And as we are also taking care of locales I really have no idea why it
breaks for you.
