If I look at any Scratcher's profile, the order of followers they have starts from their first followers. Is this just my computer, or is it happening to everyone else as well?

This isn't a bug
An ST member stated they changed it. see this topic
It's probably 1) to optimize the site after 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the memory on the servers was wasted by a DDoS attack, and 2) to prevent ban speedrunners from following griffpatch or other popular scratchers to display inappropriate PFPs or usernames

Hello ! I just connected, and I see my followers and follows reversed! (So I immediately went to a topic about this glitch…)

For some reason, I also noticed that they did it to the following tab. But, the following tab is WRONG!

They did it to EVERYONE, including me! They line up the followers based on who first started following them. I kinda want the Scratch Team to switch back, we need to get that some backlash.

This is NOT a bug and honestly I like it better.
I want them to reverse following back, but not followers.

I absolutely freaked out until I went here.

The following/follower order is indeed messed up, but only on the profile pages. The following/follower pages still display the right order, however.

This is not a bug and on purpose. It may or may not be permanent, depending on what the engineering team decides.

This is intentional, to reduce load on the database (I assume this backwards order is actually unsorted, and this way the servers don't have to sort the follower/following lists on the profile pages).

That's my understanding as well.
