does not 'find' the files in canonical order: it outputs 124.pdf and

What does it print if you don't run it through tail?
That exercise was left for those adventurous students with an inquiring
mind to attempt and to ascertain the answer for themselves....
But for those without a computer to run the code or the intellectual
musculature to open a console and type a line or two, (or for that
matter, read this, since you obviously cannot own a computer..), the
answer is:
$find . -name "*.pdf" | sort
./123.pdf
./124.pdf
./125.pdf
./126.pdf
