this is correct only if you have checked "[x] Localization view".
without this check all the records can (could?) be sorted individually. 
especially records of each language can have their own order inedpendent 
from the default-language.
Whether the display respects this order depends on the code the display 
is done
if you get the default-records and translate afterwards you will get the 
order of the default-lang
if you get records by the language and their sorting order (without 
default-lang) you can get another order.

I think (hope?) this connection is only activ if the check for 
"Localization view" is active.
in earlier versions it was clearly a problem that translated records 
were NOT moved with the default-language in this view, so they were 
moved in the display (they always follow their default-lang-record)
