Nope. When os.walk() fetches a listing of the contents of a directory,
it internally uses os.listdir() (or a moral equivalent thereof). The
docs for os.listdir() state that "The [returned] list is in arbitrary
order.". The order is dependent on the OS and filesystem, and likely
also more obscure factors (e.g. the order in which the files were
created). The lack of any required ordering allows for improved I/O
performance in many/most cases.

Cheers,
