does not 'find' the files in canonical order: it outputs 124.pdf and
126.pdf
What does it print if you don't run it through tail?

That exercise was left for those adventurous students with an inquiring mind to attempt and to ascertain the answer for themselves....

But for those without a computer to run the code or the intellectual musculature to open a console and type a line or two, (or for that matter, read this, since you obviously cannot own a computer..), the answer is:

$find .  -name "*.pdf" | sort
./123.pdf
./124.pdf
./125.pdf
./126.pdf
