Yes, using Python's sorted() function, which depends on locale. It's generally alphabetical, but the meaning of 'alphabetical' can vary by language.
Author values are
not sorted for historical reasons and there's a keep_in_order_X setting you can use if you
don't want an entry sorted. If you put
keep_in_order_genre:true in personal.ini in,
genre order will not be changed. Note that any extra entries derived from genre
will be sorted without their own keep_in_order_X setting.

Another option I think it might be is that the tick in the basic window is needed for the Count Pages to run at all? I am not sure which.

There's some more history there: The Count Pages plugin was integrated first for people who wanted page counts. The settings in the Count Pages tab are for calling Count Pages plugin specifically, and your Count Pages plugin settings determine what columns those results are stored in. Plus, Count Pages runs as it's own, separate background job with it's own 'Proceed to Update Library' pop up.
Later, the Basic tab setting Word Count was added. It uses basically the same code as the Count Pages plugin does to count words--and both use Calibre routines to do word counts--so they should be basically the same word count output.
The difference is that the Basic tab setting Word Count is done in the FFF background download job and includes that word count in the generated ebook (title page, log page, etc). You can use it to set a custom column like any other metadata entry. For most purposes, it is identical to collecting word count from the site, which Count Pages plugin sets Calibre metadata only.
So, yes, if you turn on both, word count will be calculated twice. Assuming both write to the same column (which isn't certain), the Count Pages value will be the last written, but inside the ebook title & log page word count will come from the one generated by FFF.
