Changes in ordering are definitely to be expected. The results
are ranked (ordered) based on various criteria associated with
the documents and the query. The difference you see is due simply
to the fact that the two versions do not compute the rankings in
an identical manner. It is to be hoped that in the end the newer
version will provide better general ranking. But when all is said
and done, what is better is highly subjective; it is not really a
matter of one being right and the other wrong.
