RSSSeriously Facebook, WTF happened to this thing called CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER!?

Dear Facebook,
While I like, and I am very supportive of the new features and design changes you bring to the community, the latest bunch of changes have had me very puzzled, and consequently annoyed.
I have never really liked the “Live Feed” idea, and in my mind it is just messy. Therefore I was happy to have it hidden away in the previous design. Now, however, I get awfully confused when sometimes I click on the “Home” button whilst logged in and it takes to one or the other (and not the last page I had previously been on) of either the much nicer, clearer and customisable News Feed, or the slow, irritating and cluttered Live Feed.
To be honest, and I will admit, this is not massively annoying, one click and it will take me back to my preferred News Feed. But WHY, have you – intentionally or not – COMPLETELY messed up my News Feed!?!? WHY!? Items that should be in the live feed are apparent… Items or types of updates I had previously hidden, are now appearing… and most of all – everything is out of order.
Observe my screenshot below. Please excuse the blurring of pictures and names to protect me and my friend’s privacy.
Whether this non-chronological order system is intentional by you, or simply an error with your web design/coding – please, sort it out. It is really starting to annoy me, and others.
On the other hand, thank you for your continued support in keeping the web alive, and providing a great service for me and my friends (over 250 of them now) to stay in touch.
Regards, Alastair Mogford.
PS. If this is a specific problem for some users, my specs for Facebook as with the screenshot above, was in the Safari 4 browser, running on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. However, the same problems occur on Mozilla Firefox 3.5.4.
Update: Turns out this is a recurring problem for some users. Take a look at this troubleshooting page, and see for yourself how many people are having this problem as well…
