mk-job creates multiple files: a stat file for finished jobs, and a running file for currently running jobs. The check_mk_agent then collects those files. Previously to this change, the sorting of those files was important.

The first file belonging to a certain job determined the state of the aggregated job.

Now the aggregated job will be set to running although the running file is not at first position.
