The elements are ordered in the way you insert them in an ordered collection; as a counter example a HashSet or an OrderedSet isn't ordered that way; the first one orders the elements it sees fit and the second one (despite its name it doesn't order the elements in the same order as you inserted them) orders the elements according to their 'natural' order, whatever that is; e.g. Strings are stored in lexicographical order.
