Bear in mind too, that it's often best to rely on things that dspace will guarantee are always be available, such as dc.date.available and dc.date.accessioned.

It seems like the class populating the oai index from the database doesn't really care about the order and simply takes items in the order served by the DB: Full import: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3_x/dspace-oai/src/main/java/org/dspace/xoai/app/XOAI.java#L203 Incremental import: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3_x/dspace-oai/src/main/java/org/dspace/xoai/app/XOAI.java#L178 Try changing these queries first and see if it helps. If not, perhaps there is some ordering during output from the index (I doubt so, but I didn't check).
