Dear alaw, thank you very much for your comment. My tests show that the sorting of different values for a specific tag is completely random. I suspect that the sorting is based on a guid value. I use REST to insert dspace items. I have a sample item with 9 authors. Every time I run the insert script with postman runner, the order of the authors changes. I tried adding delays between author value inserts, but the randomness still continue. So I believe that it is not based on insert datetime.
Does anybody have any idea on which part of the code is this behavior related?
