Yes, I've seen that and I assumed that the usual shell expansion is
alphabetical.

No, it should always be as given to emacs/emacsclient, i.e., when I
invoke

  $ emacsclient x a b

I want to have the buffer x selected and using `next-buffer' I'd switch
to a and then b, and then to the other buffers which have existed
before.  Right now, x will be selected, but a and b are far away.

Bye,
Tassilo
