But isn't that an option you have to select once the dialog is open?  
How they are initially displayed appears to be alphabetically by name.

Somehow, I don't think that it's as random as Joe says as it appeared  
to the OP that they opened in the same order each time.

Just as I don't think that adding files to folders rearranges their  
order, just their appearance in the finder itself. Maybe it has more  
to do with the order they were created on the drive? Just guessing  
though.
