For list_folder, are folders always returned before files?
EDIT:
I've played around a little more and it appears that not all folders are returned before files are returned. Is there any way to achieve this functionality? Or alternatively, is it possible to fetch only folders, and only files?
It appears that items are fetched from the database in order of creation_date, is that correct? If not, what's the order?

The Dropbox API /2/files/list_folder[/continue] endpoints do not necessarily return folders before files. There isn't a way to make them return folders first, or folders only, but I'll pass these along as feature requests. I can't promise if or when those might be implemented though.
The entries returned by /2/files/list_folder[/continue] are returned in the order needed to retrieve an accurate representation of the state of the Dropbox account, so make sure you process them in the order received, per the /2/files/list_folder documentation.
