No it's not guaranteed by Lucene. It's actually guaranteed not to as  
Lucene order by relevance OOTB and even if it did not, Lucene reorder  
entries when compacting the index. So order is not guaranteed just  
like a regular relational database.
You could store a globally unique incremented number with all your  
objects and sort by this field, though, if you really need this feature.
