I think that happens when someone creates a giveaway but sets the start time to a later date! So it will show up in new when you can enter but have a different (created ago) time
They created it 22 hours ago, but you could start entering around 7-9 hours ago

Actually, try this instead
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/search?type=new&format=json
Also, what Andy says seems to be the case here. Regardless, the sorting is a bit broken, and the GAs do change their position sometimes when multiple GAs are created by the same person in the same second (there are scripts to create multiple GAs in a single click).

I'm playing a bit with curl and Nokogiri triying to retrieve new give awais so I started to download and parse "new" section But I noticed the giveaway order is a bit unordered, sometimes you get a GA which is clearly off sorted

D, [2023-08-15T14:05:02.979174 #100087] DEBUG -- : SKIP (overtime) Ghost Bus Simulator
I thought it was my quick and dirty code but turns out that this also happens in the "new" page visited with a browser
I am missing something or really order of GA's in "new" page is not "an strict order"?
