No particular order is enforced: they are displayed in the order SQL
gets them from the DB, and the query has no ordering clause:

SELECT profile_id FROM profile WHERE inst_id = X

If deterministic ordering is important, we can implement this as a feature.

Note that ordering based on the display name can have surprising results
due to multi-linguality; if the translations of profile names have
different lexicographical order they will be displayed differently
depending on the language the user has chosen.

The more deterministic order would be by profile_id.

Greetings,
