Fix sorting of helpers from different paths
When more than one directory for helpers is provided to a controller, it
should preserver the order of directories. Given 2 paths:
MyController.helpers_paths = ["dir1/helpers", "dir2/helpers"]
helpers from dir1 should be loaded first. Before this commit, all
helpers were mixed and then sorted alphabetically, which essentially
would require to rename helpers to get desired order.
This is a problem especially for engines, where you would like to be
able to predict accurately which engine helpers will load first.
(closes #6496)

Helpers loading order + +The loading order of helpers from more than one directory has changed in Rails 4.0. Previously, helpers from all directories were gathered and then sorted alphabetically.
