You're right it does... sort of!
Having checked using a predictably productive search term it produced a reverse alphabetical list,
but with lower case "z" as the top of the list; lower case "a" much further down, immediately followed by upper case "Z" with upper case A right at the "far end". Sort of weird, but harmless. It would take a lot to convince me that the order in which results are returned matters all that much.
I have also found that use of the wildcard designator * works, but in practice its use might prove less than helpful as it can force the inclusion of results that are completely irrelevant. I would certainly advocate against its use to find plural nouns; a search on "house" will not find houses (plural) and while a search on house* will find both singular and plural it will also return housewife, household, housefly, housemaid and so on if anyone has included those as keywords.
