1. Me and someone else here have observed on a few rapid tests performed on pre-X OS that the order of the list returned by Finder (not by AppleScript :-) when asked "every item of ..." might reflect the order in which the items had been first created on the disk - maybe the order of the file system ids (refnums)?
I believe that the classic Finder (i.e. <= 9) returns items in the order that the window is sorted. In other words, if the window is displaying the items by date, they will be returned in date order. There is also a sort command to control this.

This behavior was not replicated in the X Finder.
