I'm curious:  Why do you think the order matters?

When creating a tar file in order to create an android ab backup basedon that tar archive, the order does matter. Check here:

Nelenkov said:

In short, simply tarring the unpacked backup directory won't work, somake sure you specify the files to include in the proper order bycreating a backup file list and passing to tar with the -T option. Theeasiest way to create one is to run tar tvf against the decompresed anddecrypted original backup. Once you create a proper tar file, you canpack it with the provided utility and feed it to adb restore.


Did you really mean to add the above file twice?
There are a bunch of other files that also appear twice
in your file list.

The duplication above is what's causing this hardlink entry.
(A hardlink entry is just tar's way of avoiding storing a file
contents twice.)

There are no hard or symbolic links in the list file, not pipe typefiles nor anything strange, just directories and files.
