<filename class='extension'>.rules</filename> files from the
<filename class='directory'>/etc/polkit-1/rules.d</filename> and
<filename class='directory'>/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d</filename>
directories by sorting the files in lexical order based on the
basename on each file (if there's a tie, files in
<filename class='directory'>/etc</filename>
are processed before files in
<filename class='directory'>/usr</filename>).
For example, for the following four
files, the order is

directories in this order:

These directories are processed in lexical order based on the basename
of each file. If there's a tie, files in directories earlier in the
list are processed first. For example, for the following four
files, the order is:
