Comment:

 @costdev I was able to replicate the issue and the bug still randomizes
 the order, if you follow the test below you will get the same:

 ‼ Only view "**All Posts**", url: **/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=post**

 1. Create 5 posts "**Test 1**" ..2,3,4,5 **AND** save as "**pending**"
 **AND** set the publish date to "**2022/01/01 at 9:00 am**"
 2. At this point, WordPress decided to give the posts a random order
 3. The current order of the posts that i have is Test "**2,1,4,5,3**" even
 though the order i created them was "**1,2,3,4,5**"
 4. Delete the 2nd post which is "**Test 1**"
 5. The order now is still correct "**2,4,5,3**" ("1" is missing, but
 WordPress keeps the order from the beginning)
 6. Delete another item, eg. "**Test 4**"
 7. WordPress decides to order the items completely different, the new
 order is "**3,5,2**".

 **SUMMARY AS EXPECTED:** 🐞❌ The remaining posts display in a different
 order than before.
