It seems that iGoogle sorts the feed by pubDate, so the editorial order in the original feed is lost. Incidentally, for me http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss.xml and http://news.bbc.co.uk/nolpda/ukfs_news/hi/default.stm show exactly the same order, it's only when added to iGoogle that the order is different (by pubDate).
