When generating the .cff file through the web app, the fields (at least the author sub-fields) are sorted by the order of addition. That means if I first add institution, and then the family name, I will get the author fields ordered in that way on my generated .cff file as well.
authors:
- given-names: Someone
affiliation: Awesome University
family-names: Smith
email: someone.smith@awesome-u.nl
orcid: 'https://orcid.org/0000-0000-0000-0000'
- given-names: Jaro
family-names: Camphuijsen

Instead it would be more desirable to have a standard order of these fields, because having various authors with different sub-field ordering makes the file unnecessarily chaotic.

I tried again, and the issue is hard to reproduce, right now, they are actually ordered in appearance in the form, but something made my first entry shuffle them around.
