Update: hmm, even in this mod coordination, the membership is all changed, and @ubiquitatious@lemmynsfw.com is no longer top moderator...
More weirdness update Monday: at !DangleAndJingle, I just added @lemmyposter212@lemmy.world as mod. But in the sidebar, s/he is listed out of order and not reflective of modlog transactions...

What I'm seeing in !lipsthatgrip is that I appear as top mod and I do have the options for "ban from community" and "appoint as mod" (or "remove as mod" and "transfer community" for you), but they're not in the drop-down and actually can get out of sync with it if you collapse the menu by clicking on the background:
I don't see you moving the community back to me, but I am late to this thread.
The same is true of the two you linked, and I also see myself at the fist listed mod for them (even in a guest session).
!lipsthatgrip@lemmynsfw.com is unaffected and totally fine, which confirms what you see. You are the creator of that community so the ordering is correct.
The issue is on the communities I created such as !butterflywings@lemmynsfw.com, !dangleandjingle@lemmynsfw.com - due to the bug we are discussing, you've become the top moderator... (what we don't know is why it happened). And it's not simply just a display UI issue.
BTW, I don't really mind that you've become top mod on my various communities, it's more that this type of random re-orderings is a very serious thing IMO - if one can't trust consistency and integrity of how moderators lists are handled, then the platform in my eyes become not trustworthy at all...

Yeah, I understood your position completely, and it's definitely a P1 bug.
I see myself as top mod of most of the subs I mod.
Notice that the moderator's user ids are ordered - I think it's just making the earliest registered (i.e. lowest id) account the top mod... @yay
Experimenting in !modcoord shows that I cannot de-mod anyone with a lower user id, but I can de-mod e.g. @ubiquitatious@lemmynsfw.com who I assume is the original owner.
I'm guessing the intended behaviour is that you shouldn't be able to edit a mod who's been mod longer than you, but they're sorting/checking the wrong thing.
@yay@lemmynsfw.com This instance appears to be ordering mods by user_id, not by date_granted_mod (or whatever).
I've just tested on ds9.lemmy.ml and it's not happening there so it might be just a here thing. I need to do paid work now, so I can't test on any live communities to confirm that it is only here.
GreatAwesome investigation! 👍😊
This may also explain why some communities are impacted vs those that are not.
