I wouldn't say udev(1) is silent on the matter.  It just doesn't use
the word(s) you might be searching for to describe the behavior. ;)

   Rules files
       The udev rules are read from the files located in the default
       rules directory /lib/udev/rules.d/, the custom rules directory
       /etc/udev/rules.d/ and the temporary rules directory
       /dev/.udev/rules.d/. All rule files are sorted and processed in
       lexical order, regardless in which of these directories they
       live.

The operative phrase being '...sorted and processed in lexical order.'
