javascript - Promise.then Job execution order

Question

The spec says (para 5):

The PendingJob records from a single Job Queue are always initiated in FIFO order. This specification does not define the order in which multiple Job Queues are serviced. An ECMAScript implementation may interweave the FIFO evaluation of the PendingJob records of a Job Queue with the evaluation of the PendingJob records of one or more other Job Queues.

Does this mean I can't count on the callback supplied to .then being evaluated before a callback supplied to setTimeout in an otherwise synchronous control flow?

In other words, can I depend on the following printing one two.

setTimeout(() => console.log('two'));
Promise.resolve().then(() => console.log('one'));

Yes, that's what it means; the spec doesn't require that implementations work that way.

But in practice, the implementations with native Promise support I've tested it on have scheduled the then callback (a "microtask" from the PendingJobs queue) immediately after finishing the "macrotask" that scheduled it, before other pending macrotasks, even when the pending macrotask was scheduled before the microtask. (setTimeout and events are macrotasks.)

E.g., in the environments where I've tested it, this outputs A, C, B reliably:

console.log("A");
setTimeout(_ => console.log("B"), 0);
Promise.resolve().then(_ => console.log("C"));
