The file(GLOB) command sorts as of CMake 3.6:

  file: Sort GLOB results to make it deterministic (#14491)

A similar change could be made to aux_source_directory, though there is
little reason to use that ancient command these days.  Also, the CMake
documentation recommends against using file(GLOB) to collect sources.
