Same thing has happened to me - it was on and off for a while but now it seems permanently jumbled! Mine is currently in the order that they were made, so every new view appears at the bottom. Tried multiple browsers, viewing lists via SharePoint and Teams, but no luck.
I've noticed my new lists (with not a lot of data in them) are working fine, maybe my default view contains too much to load for the larger lists and it prioritises loading the data over loading the views? I'll keep looking into this, it must be something simple...

 

EDIT: I just tested a new view with a filter that wouldn't show anything (only show items if status is equal to gibberish). Because all the data was filtered out, the page loaded very quickly and the view list is in alphabetical order again! But refreshing the page or changing views triggers it to jumble. I can also confirm my views end up in the order that they were made as the new view I created (and set to default) ended up at the bottom of the list.
