I made some progress on this. If export transactions on Linux,  the order
is indeed random. (I have not tried Windows yet). But if I export an
individual register (bank account for example), having first sorted them in
whatever order I want (date, amount etc), then they remain in the order I
sorted them in.

I'm reluctant to claim it's a bug, as it might be my fault. There are no
options on the export function to export transactions in any particular
order. I would have thought date is the most logical as a default.
