As PostgreSQL numbers WALs sequentially, as long as your ls command by
default orders listings by filename, then Yes. Or you could list by the
last modified date/time should give the same effect.

Hi

Is is safe to assume that the unix ls command will return WAL files in the
same sequence as postgres creates them.

e.g will ls <wal-file-folder> return files in the order that postgres
created them
