Using Playa field to order channel entries list
Probably the order is the order in which the relationships were created; this at least would be the case for the native EE-relationships. I assume with playa it is the same.

Playa - var_prefix question
Try removing the parse="inward" parameter from your {exp:channel:entries} tag. It may be confusing things and you don't really need it anyway.

Adding to this, I had to put transcribe=“disable” inside of the Playa tag (not the ece loop) to get it to output. Credit goes to EE Harbor.

Playa with large number of entries +20,000
