The only way to get a "straight" (because flat is the wrong term) line is to randomize the data or to sort the data with a random variable. Imposing a sort order that results in non-random results is NOT cause for alarm, it is expected. This is the new generic error making every election stolen if you check! Looks more like a voter suppression mantra than valid statistics. A stats journal editor would laugh out loud at the CVS model.
