Windows Task Manager process ordering

Is there any rhyme or reason to the default ordering of the Windows Task Manager processes tab under Windows XP? It seems totally random.

"By default it sorts by PID (process ID) descending. So basically most recently created at the top of the list.

You can see this by going to View -> Select Columns and checking the PID box."
