Apparently, they are sorted by capture time when imported into Lightroom. When it returns from Photoshop it always is at the very end. Always, but sometimes all of the sudden they will be returned in capture time order. I am still stumped. I looked through settings again, but can not find a place where I can specify return to capture time order.
The sort order is an aspect of the Library Module, not the import / re-import options. You won't find such a setting in the external editor preferences. I'm not there the physically watch with another set of eyes at what you're doing and whether your edit-in actions originate from the Library or Develop modules and how the sorting changes (and whether you're in a collection or the All Photographs catalog and other details that might help ...)
The point being: set the sort order to capture time when viewed in the LR Library module and the images will sort in the order as expected.
You might also look and confirm the file naming convention of files sent to the external editor. Image "DSC123.TIF" and "Edited-DSC123.TIF" will sort differently
even if they have the same capture date and time ....
