You have to realize that saves are compressed, we only save what is necessary for the save to work. We could have people upload 20MB raw dumps of the particle data, but, it makes much more sense to compress it. Loading particles from top to bottom and left to right helps us compress it more.

It isn't that we reset particle order, it is that it doesn't make any sense to save it. People always seem to find ways to make things work when the particles are ordered from top to bottom (subframe electronics are still possible).

Also your saves can't be broken if they never worked in the first place.

x and y values are not saved directly. See first page of http://tpt.io/:17454

 

I'd prefer to remove particle order effects as far as possible, but that's difficult and would break saves that rely on them.
