It's just the order they were initially discovered by the system, and it can vary. It's also one of the reasons there's the hw-id parameter in the interfaces section - that way the interface your prefer is locked to an interface name. If you want to change the order, change the hw-id entry, either through the configuration commands, or edit config.boot directly (I prefer the latter to cut and paste) and reboot.
