I'm guessing that it's random to some degree. My reasoning is this.
I went to the bottom of the list and there were about 10 colonies that I'd established for Ground based surveys that I completed some time ago. No mines, no installations no teams, no nothing left so I wanted to abandon them.
The Bottom 3 were Margaret, Brunhild and Alkmene with Alkmene at the bottom.
Abandoned Alkmene. Scrolled all the way down again.
The Bottom 3 were Margaret, Vanth, Kiviuq.
Brunhild was still on the list but quite a number of others were now lower down.
I'm fairly certain that the main populated colonies are ordered by population size. I haven't checked but am guessing the other types will be ordered by the number of installations of the correct type, for example the number of mines, or number of terraformers etc for the relevant colony type.
