When calling the S3 ListObjects command (via either REST or SOAP API), is the result set returned in any particular order? I would expect, given the nature of object keys and markers, that the result set is always sorted by object key. But I haven't seen any documentation confirming this.
Returns some or all (up to 1,000) of the objects in a bucket. You can use the request parameters as selection criteria to return a subset of the objects in a bucket. A 200 OK response can contain valid or invalid XML.
The ListObjectsV2() will always return up to 1000 objects alphabetically in the requested Prefix.
The object key (or key name) uniquely identifies the object in an Amazon S3 bucket. Object metadata is a set of name-value pairs. For more information about object metadata, see Working with object metadata. When you create an object, you specify the key name, which uniquely identifies the object in the bucket.
Update: Amazon has changed their documentation as shown below.
They are returned alphabetically. List results are always returned in UTF-8 binary order. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/ListingKeysUsingAPIs.html
Amazon S3 exposes a list operation that lets you enumerate the keys contained in a bucket. Keys are selected for listing by bucket and prefix. For example, consider a bucket named 'dictionary' that contains a key for every English word. You might make a call to list all the keys in that bucket that start with the letter "q".
List results are always returned in lexicographic (alphabetical) orderList results are always returned in UTF-8 binary order.
