Isn't this what e.g. 'ls -f' does? It outputs the dir listing without sorting, 
which to me sounds like using inode order.

I once had to list a folder with 200.000 (!) files at work on a Windows box, 
and smbmounting the volume from Linux and using 'ls -f' was one of the few 
approaches that worked on that ridiculously large folder.
