I've mentioned this before, but it didn't seem to get any traction. Now that I've got the right software, I did a video capture of the relevant menu behavior, slowed it down 10x, and blew it up 2x.
Basically, when you click on a list in the Favorites, it populates very quickly in one order (reverse alphabetical?) then changes very quickly to a different order (alphabetical?). This is reversed when you click to close the list. The movement is somewhat distracting, and I don't know if it’s a feature or a bug.
It's more pronounced with my second list in the video, because it's longer. Check it out, 6Mb from my Cloud account.

Don't have the problem on my Windows version. Probably not a feature. In my favorites, each folder's contents are in the order I put them in. Not alphabetical or any other automatic order, and they don't move on their own accord.
Could be a Mac-specific bug.
