I've noticed this, too.

There would be several advantages to being able to assign an order to the questions:

1) to save the zinger pun for last

2) to avoid having an early question be a spoiler for a later one

3) to allow questions to "build" to a conclusion (as suggested by RDG).

4) to space questions so that there's not too much of the same at once.

When making a multiple choice game it is sometimes advantageous to have a certain order to the questions because of design or train of thought. If a correction is made for a typo the order of the way it was made is destroyed and all questions become random. 999,999 Bucks Make Your Final Offer. This game now goes backward because of a change to the original third question.
