Ordering of entities from a finder method

Newbie question here.

In BMP entity beans, is the Collection of entities that are returned from the home's findByXxxx finder method guaranteed to be in the same order as the Collection of primary keys returned by the beans' ejbFindByXxxx method.

I really need this to be true or I will have to go another direction.

There is no explicit requirement in the spec.
See EJB2.0 12.3.2

But JBoss uses an ArrayList, so it will be
true.

I had tried to find the requirement in the spec and when I did not find it, that prompted the question.

Thanks much.
