Yes.  If the current working directory contains files
named delta, echo, and foxtrot, the command

  % ./fiend ./delta ./echo ./foxtrot -name echo -exec ls -s echo \; -o -print

outputs

  ./delta
  0 echo
  ./foxtrot

If you sort this output and remove each leading ./ (as
Test #10 does), the result is

  delta
  foxtrot
  0 echo
