Folder list order guaranteed?

It seems the /metadata?list=true reply contents field is always sorted alphabetically by file name. Is this guaranteed? If so, could you please document it?

Being as this isn't documented as such, I can't offer any guarantee that it will remain this way, so I don't recommend relying on it being sorted like this. That said, I'm sending this along a s a request to guarantee and document this.
