Wondering whether it's possible to specify a sort order when transferring files with scp.

For example: $ scp -r "user@host:/path/to/download/" .

[... files download in a seemingly random order ...]

Since perhaps this may be related to how scp functions, is there some way to configure ssh on the source(server)-side so that files are transfered, for example, in ascending filename order?
