It is possible to use Emacs Lisp:

(sort 
 (delq nil 
       (mapcar
        (lambda (file)
          (cond ((file-directory-p file) (expand-file-name file))
                (t nil)))
        (directory-files-recursively 
         (expand-file-name "~/Documents/") ".*Q.*" t)))
       #'string<)

It would be better to have `directory-directories-recursively' function.
