Yes, and file dragging from the navigation mess (aka Mac OS X Finder).  The
Mac OS Finder used to keep item order the same as it was in the current
sorting.  In mac OS X this is different: Here files will be in arbitrary
order (actually, I think it is their filesystem file id) when being dragged.
Thus, when dragging files they will arrive in arbitrary order in other
applications.  Very annoying...

There are a few things you can do about it with 3rd party extensions.  None
