I was curiuos about this too and went looking.  I believe the definition
of "sequence-set" (which is what the ID range in the FETCH request is)
on https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3501#page-90 suggests that
clients should expect replies in any order:

   Servers MAY coalesce overlaps and/or execute the sequence in any
   order.
