Array of files not working about sequelize-fixtures HOT 7 OPEN

Did you try the wildcard? (that's what I use and it's been working fine for a long time... I never had the need to specify only some files)

sequelize_fixtures.loadFile('fixtures/*.json', models).then(() => {
 // ...
});

this is my initialization/index.js

const chalk = require('chalk');
const fixtures = require('sequelize-fixtures');

const models = require('./../server/models');
const logger = require('./../server/utilities/logger');

// from file
module.exports = (callback) => {
  fixtures
    .loadFile('./initialization/fixtures/*.json', models)
    .then(() => {
      logger.log(chalk.green('Test data added to database'));
      callback();
    });
};

The wildcard does work, but the order the fixtures load in matters. Using the wildcard seems to use alphabetical order.

So while the wildcard does work, it doesn't work for my case.
I ended up having multiple calls like this:

await sequelize_fixtures.loadFile("fixtures/user.json", models);
await sequelize_fixtures.loadFile("fixtures/authentication.json", models);

So while the wildcard does work, it doesn't work for my case.

to solve that problem, I use

001.user.json
002.authentication.json

as file names, and I know they will always follow the order I set up to be.

you can even name as

001.user.json
005.authentication.json
010.somethingelse.json

so in the future, you can have a file in between ...

Sure, I personally don't think that's a very elegant way of solving the problem, but regardless the usage docs say this should work:

    //array of files
    sequelize_fixtures.loadFiles(['fixtures/users.json', 'fixtures/data*.json'], models).then(function(){
        doStuffAfterLoad();
    });

and it hadn't been working for me.

@Sorgrum I do prefer the file editing than edit all the time the function...

Sure, so maybe we should just update the docs to reflect that passing in an array of files isn't a valid way to load fixtures?

@Sorgrum can you raise a PR with a change to the README.md you feel is appropriate? Thanks!
