Certain users have already been selected for testing, and a Twitter search for “timeline out of order” revealed a lot of confused Tweeters.

A Twitter spokesperson confirmed via email that this is “an experiment. We're continuing to explore ways to surface the best content for people using Twitter.” Presumably, Twitter is working with algorithms similar to the ones Facebook uses to order items on your News Feed.
