At the point when I'm posting, the answer by Lundin has +14 score and the answer by dmckee‭ has +11 score. Neither has any down votes.

Yet when I sort by score, it doesn't show the answer with highest score first. Clicking on "score" doesn't help. The site appears to be sorting by activity still, or not sorting at all.

This post on Meta has, at this writing, a +3/-3 sandwiched between two +0/-0s, but they're not in age order either. Hmm.

Monica Cellio‭ That is intended. See Randomize order of answers with same score

Moshi‭ I don't think +0/-0 and +3/-3 have the same score. Well, they're not supposed to; I just checked that post and they all say 0.5. Edit: I was wrong; according to our help +N/-N is a score of 0.5. I thought the controversy had an impact.
