I always thought the ordering results were unsurprising in that philosophers have long had the practice of presenting cases in specific orders so as to make their claims maximally convincing.
I actually think that faking the results of thought experiments happens: incentive and opportunity exists, so I don't see why not. In darker moments I also wonder if people read the X-Phi on order effects in presentation of thought experiments and seen in this an opportunity.
