Perhaps I am misunderstanding your comment, but if your recursion uses a stack (which, I would say, at least the calls do), the solution has to be LIFO. A queue would be FIFO.

This could just be a difference between understanding your comment differently than the way you meant to say it.

    Stack.   Queue.   Whatever.   :-D

    “Verily, verily, I code unto thee:   he who seeks to be first, shall be last...”   :-;

    You store the items, in some method and according to some suitable discipline, and then you “work through the list(s).”   That’s the gist of it.
