 Default order of pages list table in 4.4 is "date". I've investigated
 source and found that this is caused by function wp_edit_posts_query():

 {{{
 if ( isset( $q['orderby'] ) ) {
                 $orderby = $q['orderby'];
         } elseif ( isset( $q['post_status'] ) && in_array(
 $q['post_status'], array( 'pending', 'draft' ) ) ) {
                 $orderby = 'modified';
         } else {
                 $orderby = 'date';
         }
 }
 }}}

 else statement is causing this problem:

 {{{
 else {
         $orderby = 'date';
 }
 }}}

 it wasn't present in 4.3.
