This is selectable in BIND v8, it wasn't AFAIK in v4. The order can be
set per RR type, and can be set to random, fixed, or cyclic. Random is
just that, fixed is in the oder they're in the zone file, and cyclic is
round robin order.
See options.html in the HTML documentation that ships with BIND8 for details
(the document is no longer at isc.org or was hidden badly during their
last update.)
