I would say 'unordered' or 'no ordering guarantees'. Please also add the note to rglob().

Thanks. Would you also like me to correct the glob module documention to use the same wording?
This is what's in glob docs rn (GH-140184):

cpython/Doc/library/glob.rst

Lines 28 to 31 in ec269e1

.. note::
The pathnames are returned in no particular order. If you need a specific
order, sort the results.

Oh, fine: in that case just reuse the exact wording (ie drop 'akin' etc)
