Hello All,
We recently get many complains that after upgrade of the portal from 7.0X to 7.3 and up, the order of the nodes displayed in the TLN are random, or not the same for all users.
The solution is to change the property "Sort Initial Nodes" to 2/3 through the navigation service (as displayed in the attached screenshot).
The reason that it happens after upgrade is that we have moved the property from one service (navigationEventHelperServise in 7.0X) to the navigation service and due to that, after upgrade it returned to the default value which is 1: Sort Priority, which means to sort the entries only be sort priority, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/49/3c488cc6c81ec4e10000000a42189b/frameset.htm
