I’m pretty sure the answer to this is ‘yes’, but just in case:
If you’re using ConvertAll() to convert elements of an input list to an output list, is the output list guaranteed to be in the same order as the input list?

There is no explicit guarantee in the documentation that this is the case. The documentation only specifies that elements will be individually passed to the delegate and then put into the new
List<T>. It doesn’t ever specify order.However the behavior today is that elements are returned in order and there is no conceivable reason this would ever change.
