What it looks like is kinda as Erick suggested - the scores are the same for some docs, so it probably depends upon which order they come back from the shards as to which will be shown first.
If the issue is that the score is the same for some docs, try adding a deliberate sort: &sort=score desc,id asc i.e. sort by score, but if the scores are the same, sort by id.
