Problem using the file viewer and pressing "i" and having the list be re-sorted

I have a problem, when using the file viewer and pressing "i" the list of files is re-sorted
This didn't use to be this way in older versions of vim.

To Reproduce

Run open -a macvim a-folder
see the list order
press i in normal mode to see file details
see how the list is now re-sorted
cry, baby, cry
find your file again in the list (no, it isn't under the cursor, why would it)
get used to the list being re-sorted (this is hard)
accept the list is re-sorted (this is harder)
be frustrated
stop using vim altogether, because, omg.
go back to vim, cause you need it
file this bug report.

Expected behavior
when I press i in the list of files, the file details appear, the list stays in place, in the same order

Notice how the order is different.

Environment (please complete the following information):

This doesn't happen in vim, only in macvim:

Additional context
Why vim why...

Start by reproducing the file viewer behavior in the MacVim GUI on macOS: open a folder, record the file order, and press i in normal mode. Compare the ordering and cursor position before and after; done means file details appear without changing the list order or moving the selected file.
