In which order are the files from the ExFtpConnection.DownloadMultiple() method returned?

Question

I am limiting the number of files that can be retrieved from the DownloadMultiple() method. To achieve this I set the FTPFileTransferEventArgs.Cancel = true when the number of files downloaded has reached my limit.

But, I need to know in which order the files from this method are returned. For instance, if they are ordered by remote filedate, and if it's descending or ascending order. I also want to know if the ordering is consistent no matter what Ftp server or server plattform I am connected to.

The list sent back is controlled by the FTP server. You can't rely on it being in any particular order, and it will likely vary between servers.
