I don't think there is any connection between the order of the UEFI boot variables and the order things are presented in grub menus.

"bios boot settings" is another thing entirely. My "bios" only shows one entry: "Fedora". Even if I try to use efibootmgr to create new entries. Also, regarding shim.efi vs shimx64.efi (and grub.efi grubx64.efi) - it may be the case that shim.efi is 32-bit, but still boots a 64-bit kernel. I don't really know. I *assume* the *x64.efi entries are 64-bit, and that it implies the others are 32-bit. So, having taken a moment to look, shim.efi and shimx64.efi are identical, and there is no grub.efi, only grubx64.efi. So purge my silly comments on UEFI booting in 64-bit vs 32-bit mode from your brains.
