I've noticed something surprising (to me) about the order that 'emerge -auvND 
world'
decides to install/upgrade/reinstall packages. The situation is as follows:

 * A large number of packages need to be build/installed/reinstalled
 * Hit control-C during the build of package X
 * Restart 'emerge -auvND world'

I expect that it will start by building package X and resume with the
remainder of the packages in the same order as before. Often it does
not.  The order of package bilds often seems to be quite different
after the interruption than it was the first time -- often X is a fair
ways down the list.

Why is that?
