Is there any indication going early is an advantage?  It may
well be a disadvantage, as voters intentionally compensate while
going through the list, if they in fact do so in alphabetical
order.

Nevertheless, I see no problem in randomly sorting entries until
the voting is closed.  After the results are sealed, they could be
restored to a less chaotic, more useful sequence.... alphabetical
by entrant name would perhaps be most useful.
