LISTSERV processes the queue in physical directory order.  If LISTSERV
sorted the directory by file name then it would process pseudo FIFO
because that's the way the file names would collate.  *ix systems
do not keep a directory in collating order.  Programs like "ls"
sort the directory for presentation.
