I believe I explained this. It is the order they are found in the node. It
means
the offered candidates appear to me in the order I see them in the node. I
think
it was probably more meaningful in the other bug (#38614) as that affected the
order of menu items which are closer together, but this is similar.
And as I explained (and you elided), it provides a meaning interactive
experience:
