As I understand it, the order in which changesets are shown
is unspecified. And there are many possible: by time, revnumber,
topological.
This allows the revset matching engine to perform query
optimizations, lazy evaluation and all sorts of things.

If you want to enforce an order, you need to use
the sort(set, key) revset function.
