This really depends on what diff driver you use.
Local diff uses 'svn status' to determine what to show, so this is 100% stable in recent versions, but once you diff against the repository the diff is generated in the ordering in which the server (or the ra layer) reports its changes, which is mostly based on how things are stored in an apr hash in libsvn_repos which performs the tree diff server side.
