Order with get_categories()

I’m building a custom list of Categories (because I’ve used ACF to add fields to them), and if not set the orderby or order parameters in the arguments. Here’s is the code:

$args = array(
    'hide_empty' => false,
    'taxonomy' => 'category',
);

$cats = get_categories( $args );
                    
foreach( $cats as $cat ) {

    $icon = get_field( 'category_icon', $cat );
    echo '<li><i class="' . $icon . '"></i> <a href="' . get_category_link( $cat->term_id ) . '">' . $cat->name . '</a></li>';
}

The list that prints is not using the order I’ve set with this plugin. What do I need to set orderby to in the $args?

Thank you
