Picture a vote where users elect different candidates. If the candidates are presented in the same order every time, it's possible inertia might influence the voting process. The candidates on top may get more votes than the bottom candidates. Especially if said election has many candidates, if voters aren't that well informed on each candidate, and if voters have incentive to vote regardless of outcome (expectation of airdrops for participating in governance, for example).
While the effect of this inertia may or may not be significant, an option to randomize the order of multiple choice votes could help prevent the issue.
