What is the sort order of a list operation on a blob container? Is it like Azure Table Storage, where it is alphabetic?
From the last line of “List Blobs” in MSDN – http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd135734.aspx
As an aside, in one of the PDC deep dive talks, the storage team talked about the fact that blobs are keyed on a combination of the container name and blob path, so this is what determines the list order – and it also determines “hot spots” if you are hitting blob storage for lots of similarly named files.
