In fact, it was completely unordered - the query that listed the
attachments had no ORDER BY at all. Not entirely sure why but that seems to
have more or less always returned them in the reverse order.

I've added an ORDER BY on the serial column that the attachments get their
id from, which should make it always sort them in the same order as they
were inserted. As usual, it'll take a few hours for the effects to show
through the caching.
