How to tar files with a sorted order?

Question

If you tar a directory recursively, it just uses the order from the os's readdir.

But in some cases it's nice to tar the files sorted.

What's a good way to tar a directory sorted alphabetically?

请注意，就本问题而言，典型 Linux 系统上的 gnu-tar 没问题。

对于 GNU tar：

--sort=ORDER
 Specify the directory sorting order when reading directories.
 ORDER may be one of the following:

`none'
      No directory sorting is performed. This is the default.

`name'
      Sort the directory entries on name. The operating system may
      deliver directory entries in a more or less random order, and
      sorting them makes archive creation reproducible.

`inode'
      Sort the directory entries on inode number. Sorting
      directories on inode number may reduce the amount of disk
      seek operations when creating an archive for some file
      systems.
