Why are the icons in the Android share menu ordered randomly?

Seriously, I don't get it. It's so annoying, every time I want to share something I have to scroll to find the same App again and again. Is there a reason for this?

I think I saw something about Google allowing greater customisation of the share sheet for apps, hopefully this pushes some apps to move to the native sheet instead of making their own one to add special sharing options.

Then again, YouTube has its own share sheet but it has zero added functionality to justify it, so who knows ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I see app developers abusing any freedoms they are given within the native share sheet in the same way that some of them use text under their icons different from their apps' names, messing things up further. Like (totally made up now but serves as an example) having a video player app called X that reads "View this video with X now" under their icon in the share sheet whenever you share a video file.
