Sorting answers by score appears to be broken

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 is both by design.
Lundin's example is an answer link, which intentionally puts the selected answer at the top of the answer list. Because we only have two answers here, this isn't as intuitive as with more answers. (Explanation with reasons.) To reduce confusion, we have now added a notice above the answer when it is shown out of order, like this:
Monica's behavior is also by design. When you hover the voting blocks, you can see that all three posts have the exact same score (0.5). In these cases, the answers are sorted randomly (as proposed in and implemented upon this request)
