WordPress: get_post_meta() returns results in random order
Quick and to the point:
- The function that queries meta-data doen't have an ORDER BY
- MyISAM tables change the order of data when updated
- Switch to InnoDB, so all queries without "ORDER BY" are sorted by primary key and your results will be always in the same order :-)
...btw, this bug is reported and should be fixed in WordPress 3.8
