In what orders does the output of listunspent is printed?

[takuma sato]

When you use 'listunspent' in the console command of Bitcoin Core you get an output that prints something like this:

Code:

[
  {
    "txid": "redacted",
    "vout": 1,
    "address": "1address.............................",
    "label": "redacted",
    "scriptPubKey": "redacted",
    "amount": 0.01,
    "confirmations": 100,
    "spendable": true,
    "solvable": true,
    "desc": "pkh([redacted/redacted/redacted/0h/0/0]redacted)#redacted",
    "parent_descs": [
      "pkh(redacted/redacted/1h/0h/0/*)#redacted"
    ],
    "safe": true
  },
(...)

]

I was wondering, in which order does it show up? It is definitely not chronological, because I see a recent transaction with 100 confirmations, then a bunch of older transactions with 40k+ confirmations, then a couple recent ones with 100 confirmations or less at the bottom. This is a full node with pruned=0 in testnet4 btw.

There is no particular order.

The order is based on the iteration order of a std::unordered_map, which, as the name suggests, does not have any particular order. It's basically random.
