As a fix I would recommend just listing the latest links on the simple page or
to reverse the order so that easy_install picks up the right one.

Detection order isn't part of the algorithm (at least for easy_install), so that won't actually help here.

The real issue here is that hidden links are shown for hidden releases on /simple pages at all. Martin says that "users requested it", but IMO this is an instance where what users request isn't necessarily best.

If a user wants to access hidden versions of a package, they can always do so by direct targeting, the -f option, or the dependency_links setup() keyword.
