What determines list ordering when title, weight and date are omitted?

If a content file’s frontmatter does not have any of the following keys: weight, date, title what determines the ordering of a list view? Filename?

In this scenario is the ordering deterministic or can I expect it to be different between hugo runs?

content/fruits/pear.md

+++
name = "pear"
description = "very good"
...
...
+++

layouts/section/fruits.html

{{range .Data.Pages}}
{{.Render "li"}}
{{end}}

The default page sort is both stable and deterministic. Sorts by weight, date, link title, full file path.
