The sort for activities is reverse chronological. Sorting was broken in a recent upgrade. We are working on fixing that.

Having the activities sort randomly should annoy anybody who uses the activity listings, and it should be simple to add a simple chronological sort to the default underlying query. Not looking at the underlying code, this should be simple because it would require no UI changes. A more advanced sort would be nice, but the random sort is definitely a serious bug in the current implementation.
