It's not random but it appears random because who really knows what the ISBN is off the top of their head? That information isn't available unless you scroll down (several screens in some cases) and then click another area to un-hide it. Sorting on something that is not visible or intuitive is a poor decision on ODs part if this was intentional and poor QC if it wasn't. Neither of which reflects well on them.

Edit: I just checked the first 5 titles in my list and they are not sorted by (listed) ISBN, release date, original publication date, number of copies, availability, formats available, publisher, date it was made available to Overdrive, or file size; they might be sorting by something else but whatever it is is not visible to me so might as well be random.
