:help 'suffixes'
explains that, I think.
However, in my books, if filenames are given explicitly without
wildcards, no sorting should be done. In fact, I would think that
sorting should be done for each wildcard independently, not the
aggregation of them. E.g. *.h *.c should have all .h files first and all
.c files next. *.[hc] should be sorted according to suffixes, or
otherwise alphabetically. That's my two cents.
