interesting problem. i suspect there will be serious dependency on os and
file system.
on os x 10.5 and a Mac OS Extended volume i created a directory with 5 files
in it as follows:
$ ls במהירות
את עסקת שליט רוצים להשלים
(i've no idea what these words mean. i copied them from a hebrew newspaped
web site.)
i ran the following script with cwd set to the ditectory in php 5.2.8 cli:
$default_locale = setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8');
ini_set('default_charset', 'UTF-8' );
$dh = opendir('.');
while (false !== ($filename = readdir($dh)))
$files[] = $filename;
sort($files);
print_r($files);
foreach ($files as $f)
print( (is_file($f) ? "file:\t\t" : "not file:\t").realpath($f)."\n" );
Array
(
[0] => .
[1] => ..
[2] => את
[3] => להשלים
[4] => עסקת
[5] => רוצים
[6] => שליט
)
not file: /Users/fsb/במהירות
not file: /Users/fsb
file: /Users/fsb/במהירות/את
file: /Users/fsb/במהירות/להשלים
file: /Users/fsb/במהירות/עסקת

ok. but as you noted, the ltr reversal switches path order as well as
character order, which is a bit confusing. (btw: the square brackets above
got reversed in the cut and paste from terminal window to entourage.)
then i renamed the files thus:
$ ls
את.jpg שליט.jpg להשלים.jpg
עסקת.jpg רוצים.jpg
$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 fsb fsb 0 May 28 12:16 את.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 fsb fsb 0 May 28 12:16 עסקת.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 fsb fsb 0 May 28 12:59 שליט.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 fsb fsb 0 May 28 12:16 רוצים.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 fsb fsb 0 May 28 12:16 להשלים.jpg
which is also a tad confusing, ls using two different conventions. but the
script still seems to work.
Array

[0] => .
[1] => ..
[2] => את.jpg
[3] => להשלים.jpg
[4] => עסקת.jpg

)

file: /Users/fsb/במהירות/רוצים.jpg
file: /Users/fsb/במהירות/שליט.jpg
now with a couple of numeric file names in the same directory:
$ ls
1234.jpg עסקת.jpg להשלים.jpg
2345.jpg שליט.jpg
את.jpg רוצים.jpg
Array
(
[0] => .
[1] => ..
[2] => 1234.jpg
[3] => 2345.jpg
[4] => את.jpg
[5] => להשלים.jpg
[6] => עסקת.jpg
[7] => רוצים.jpg
[8] => שליט.jpg
)

file: /Users/fsb/במהירות/עסקת.jpg
file: /Users/fsb/במהירות/רוצים.jpg

so it looks like things are working here.
i was unable to do anything hebrew at all on
in your position i would check the default charset and locale settings. also
perhaps try a different php version. i expect you have mbstring installed. i
have
mbstring.func_overload = 7
mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8
but i doubt that makes the difference.
