For all intents and purposes, consider it random. Typical options you'll
encounter (based on the underlying filesystem) are alphabetical and
creation-date. I've never seen size as a consideration.

If you want it a particular way you need to roll your own.

Rumor (including the Finder's own dictionary) implies that some day the
Finder will be able to sort directory listings for us, but don't hold your
breath.
