I think the sort order for the horses has always used the original sort order applied by Betfair from the time the market was accessed. The reason being that it would mess up peoples formulas if that order changed and bets had been placed (favs flip flopping etc). And realistically if you're automating things the order of how they appear on screen is pretty much irrelevant as there's plenty of excel functions to order for betting.
