Heuristically ;-)

Please read section 27.8 entitled "The Buffer List" of the Elisp manual
first.  That section also tells you how you can manually change the
order of buffers in the buffer list.  Thereafter you can grep the Elisp
sources to find out who calls the function `bury-buffer' and
`unbury-buffer' and whether and how these calls mess up the order you
wanted in the first place.
