The history menu contains a list of files that have been recently viewed in that specific window. In the Condensed and Default layouts this is typically only one file as files are opened in new windows by default. However in windows like the Project Find, Documentation, and Class Browser source panes, it conveniently lists the files you've recently viewed using those tools.
The order has always been alphabetical for me.
Trick #1: You can switch any open text editor window/pane to another file and add that file to the its history by dragging the icon of the file into to navigation bar (the one with the history pop-up). Even in Default and Condensed layouts, you can then flip between two or more files in the same window.
Trick #2: Holding down the Option key changes the history pop-up from the local history for that individual window to the global history of all recently opened files. Switching to a file in the global history list adds that file to the window's history.
Trick #3: Just like in the documentation window, Command+Option+Left/Right arrow will cycle through the files in the window's history. Note that the order of the files will be most-recently-visited -- not the order in the menu. Files only appear once in the stack of recently visted files, so re-visiting a file rotates it to the top of the stack.
