It uses the same environment, but a slightly differing chapter setup. Any hints which setting could cause the re-ordering? (And I use \startchapter … \stopchapter of course.)
personally id i'd want an export i'd use a mode where i turn off all 
kind of fancy formatting

at some time i might even split off the export in the sense that when 
enabled some other layout features get disabled (for instance: when you 
make a chapter title setup that completely decouples the order, e.g. put 
it on some layer, you can't expect an export to work: export doesn't 
look at the input, it works with the output and reconstructs from that)
