Everything about these two nodes is identical except for the node IDs. [In fact, #1199162 had been considered for reaping because it's a duplicate: that may have happened by the time you read this.]

Anyway, on the basis that #1199161 was created before #1199162, #1199161 should be displayed first, i.e. the current order reversed.

As I've no idea of the code behind this, I can really only guess, but perhaps where the timestamps are identical, something akin to this could be added to the current sort functionality: 

... || $a->{node_id} <=> $b->{node_id}
