This is true of all lexicons and range indexes (which are essentially the same thing). These indexes are created and updated in sorted order, which is one of the reasons they're so fast. The other reason is that the values are stored in the indexes themselves, so they don't need to be extracted from the documents.
For string lexicons the sorting order will be affected by the collation you choose, but it will always be stable for a given index.
