# isReproducibleFileOrder

@Input
open fun isReproducibleFileOrder(): Boolean(source)

Specifies whether to enforce a reproducible file order when reading files from directories.

Gradle will then walk the directories on disk which are part of this archive in a reproducible order independent of file systems and operating systems. This helps Gradle reliably produce byte-for-byte reproducible archives.

Gradle defaults to `true` if not set explictly starting Gradle 9.0.0

#### Return

`true` if the files should read from disk in a reproducible order.

#### Since
