Description
🚀 The feature
By sorting the output of the list_files() and list_dir() helper functions, the order of samples in the Omniglot dataset can be made deterministic across OSes.
Motivation, pitch
Right now, it is quite difficult to obtain reproducible accuracies across machine with the same few-shot learning setup when the Omniglot dataset is used.

Research direction
Locate the Omniglot dataset implementation and search for the list_files() and list_dir() helpers. Check how their outputs determine class and image ordering, then verify that sorting them makes sample order reproducible across operating systems. Done means deterministic ordering is covered by the relevant dataset tests, if present.
