Does readdir() have a default order?

[BlindPete]

I am listing a directory, it appears that the files always come out from newest to oldest. Is this coincidence? an effect of the server or is it how readdir() works?

while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))

PHP.NET does not say either way.

$##%#%#^^ thats embarrasing the site does say!

from:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php

Description
string readdir ( resource dir_handle )

Returns the filename of the next file from the directory. The filenames are returned in the order in which they are stored by the filesystem.
