For logged in users (including the first user), Omega renders the order of blocks correctly as follows:
* Main page content
* View: Whats new: Home page news
* View: Whats new: Home page events

For anonymous users, Omega is rendering the blocks in the following order:
* View: Whats new: Home page news
* View: Whats new: Home page events
* Main page content

I've checked the source code, and the difference is definitely in the order of blocks, as rendered in the HTML. there are no role restrictions on any of the blocks. I have flushed all caches, etc.

Is there any reason why this should be happening?

Well.. At least I can assure you that Omega is doing nothing to your Blocks ;). Make sure you excplicitly set the "Main content" block in your Block configuration / Context or where you set it. Omega really should not have any impact on your block ordering unless of course your weights are not set properly.

First of all: Upgrade to RC2. Before filing a bug report you should ALWAYS try the latest version before. Having to browse through probably already fixed issues steals a lot of my time.

I'm so 2000-and-late... that release came out yesterday ;-)

Will try it out.

You were right... an upgrade from 7.x-3.0-beta2 to 7.x-3.0-rc2 fixed the issue.

However, the upgrade path is really challenging and undocumented -- especially if your server does not allow FTP access to Drupal's first user.

Thanks for your quick response.

There is nothing we can do about that sadly. There is a Drupal Core bug in the Update Manager.

It turns out that upgrading to rc2 fixed the issue on the home page and created a host of other bizarre issues on the site, including missing HTML: small things like the H1 and the tabs. See more a detail at http://drupal.org/node/1239944
