Why not check it by creating some files and doing for loop with a simple echo ?
Default order of things should be apparent from the output produced.

As for other requirements, it will have to be coded for each case specifically using if , case or both, piped to sort command or whatever.
Some like length of filename shell builtin can be used e.g. ${#i}

For sorting requirement per modified time a simple example for mtime change
Last modified file will be last printed on the screen.
Code assumes there are not comma , in filenames.
Code:
for i in *.txt; do printf "%s," $i ; stat -c %Y $i; done | sort -t, -k2

Hope that helps

Peasant.

NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port] sieveshell --help DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress. The following commands are recognized: list list scripts on server. put <filename> upload script to server. get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout delete <name> delete script. activate <name> activate script. deactivate deactivate all scripts. OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials. -a authname, --authname=authname The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user). -r realm, --realm=realm The realm to attempt authentication in. -e script, --exec=script Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
