Order of traversal given by std::filesystem directory_iterator

Question

When iterating through a directory using std::filesystem::directory_iterator, are there any guarantees regarding the order of traversal?

Answer 1

The order is unspecified per [fs.class.directory.iterator]/8

The order of directory entries obtained by dereferencing successive increments of a directory_­iterator is unspecified.

Answer 2

From the docs:

The iteration order is unspecified, except that each directory entry is visited only once. The special pathnames dot and dot-dot are skipped.
