mk9660: write data in alphabetical order

*after* writing, the directory tree gets alphabetically sorted for
path table. this causes data to not be in the same order as it was
written causing seeks when taring up the filesystem.

so instead write the files in alphabetical order as well to better
match the directory sorting.
