Tabs surreptitiously rearranged/switched within a group upon startup

Description of the issue:
Majority of the time now I fire up Brave either from a fresh boot of my machine or from my machine at idle, a couple of the tabs within one of my groups will be swapped around.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. (obviously, be using the browser in such a manner that previously open tabs are re-opened upon launch of the app)
  2. Have some tabs in a group
  3. Relaunch the browser and observe the order of the tabs

Expected result:
The tabs stay in the order I put them.
Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.76.74 Chromium: 134.0.6998.89 (Official Build) (64-bit), Linux Mint 22.1 Xia, Cinnamon DE
Additional Information:
Here’s an example case:
Expected order:

Order when re-opening browser:

I’ve noticed that if a tab in a group is closed and restored, it always gets restored at the end of the group. The same happens on Chrome as well as Brave. That might be useful to whoever looks into this issue.
