Can I rely on these .bin format books being sorted? The ones I've seen "in the wild" have been - is this always so? Is it OK to regard an unsorted book as invalid?
Thanks.

Books must be sorted by hash key. (Or the probing, which searches the key through bisection, would not work.) The order of the moves for a given key is undefined.
