fileset goes not guarantee that the files it matches will be returned in any particular order. I do believe that it will go depth-first, but within any given directory there is no guarantee on the order of the files in that directory, as this is dependant on the underlying JVM, native filesystem, etc.
To use your example, you might get back either: File1 File2 File3 File4 File5 or: File2 File1 File3 File5 File4 -- Jeffrey E.
