Thanks for the warning. Perhaps my statement should have been:

The "list folder" command ... returns file names which, in my experience,
happen to be in alphabetical order. :-)

BTW: is any of this documented anywhere?

Only by omission and example: if you look in the old Scripting Additions Guide, you'll notice that (a) it doesn't specify any ordering for the result, and (b) the example shown gives the results in something other than dictionary order. Getting documentation written is a slow process.
