It's standard sql behavior, users always specify the ordering they want as part of the query.

Often people new to databases and SQL thinks ordering is implicit, I have teach dozens of juniors that believe this is the default. I always wondered why that is the thought process...

Because out of the first 100 queries they ran, 99 came back in order and they didn't notice that the 100th didn't.
