In what order are Facebook friends listed on the left side of the Home page?

If it who you talk to on Facebook chat the most? Whose page you visit the most? And yes I mean the left side of the Home page, not your profile page.

I was on here early this morning. Now I have saw this question a bunch of times. Who cares who is on the left side. As for me I don't give a dam who is on the left side. I think that is done at random.

According to Facebook:

“Friends who you publicly interact with the most appear first on your profile. Examples of public interactions include Wall posts, comments and mutually attended events — Facebook will never show friends based on whose profiles you choose to view or who you interact with over messages and chat.”
