It's not random, it's the documentation that is inaccurate.

FindSorted() is just a binary search, and so never find the *first* 
element in array order, but the first it encounters while following the 
binary search order.

Returning the first occurence in array order would be a performance 
penalty, and I don't understand how it would be useful. Please elaborate!
