Random. But you can specify which is the change address, in the newer version of QT client.

I don't think there's any hard rule to the output transaction order. If you're using createrawtransaction, you can specify the outputs in whichever order you like.

I noticed that sometimes the change address is first, sometimes second. What is the rule here?

It is designed to make the order random, so to protect your privacy. As an outsider, I know the change address belongs to the owner of the original address, but then I can't tell which address is the change address.

Cool information to know.  Wink
