userprofile.py:
    def __load_modules (self):
        """Load all available modules from self.module_path."""
        dprint ("Loading modules from %s", self.module_path)
        sys.path.append (self.module_path)
        for file in os.listdir (self.module_path):
            if file[0] == '.':
                continue
            if file[-3:] != ".py":
                continue
            if file == "__init__.py":
                continue
            self.__load_module (file[:-3])

AFAICT the order of modules comes from whatever order os.listdir() 
decides to run the modules, and this eventually propagates to the 
ListStore backing of the TreeView of the Details panel.  This part of 
the code hasn't changed since 2005, so something else seems to have 
changed that changed the apparent order of items displayed in the 
Details view.

Still digging...
