if I put a contact in several group, there is no order, XML is not
ordered, so it's why it's random the place it takes in contact.groups.

impossible: it's not in xmpp protocole. There is no primary group concept.

Why not, but that means that you'll once see contact1 in group1 because
you're chatting with someone in group1, and another time in group2
because you're chatting with someone in group2 ...

Something else: what happen if you open a chat window with someone, and
then you modify the groups in which this contact is?
