At least for the keymap preflet, this is correct, it puts them in the list in the order that they're returned by BDirectory::GetNextRef(). Not sure about Pe right now but I'd guess its case is the same, since your assumption about BFS's on-disk structures is indeed the case (as for any other filesystem that's based on some derivative of a B-tree).

Other sorting issues I've noticed:
I don't know, if that is actually the case, but a possible explanation could be that in all those cases the application doesn't sort the list at all, but rather just fills it as it reads the entries from a certain directory (keymap files, add-ons). I believe BFS's on-disk structures require/imply directory entries to be sorted while that is not the case for packagefs.
If this assumption is correct then the issue is actual a bug/missing feature in the concerned applications. One that also exists in the non-PM Haiku, though it may be less visible. I guess it can still be observed when setting a locale whose sorting doesn't agree with BFS's.
