The order has to be random or you can trace votes to individuals if you keep the order in which they voted.

In some voting systems (eg, the UK's), this is a feature, not a bug. Ballot serials are recorded against electoral register entries, and the courts have de-anonymized ballots in a few cases.

This is a very serious bug, even if courts want to exploit it.

Most systems seem to have two lines so it's not clear the order people voted in. Excluding hidden cameras which also work with voting machines.
