The variant list in the UI has the variants in the order that they appear in the manifest, but HLS.js is sorting them by bitrate in ascending order - this means that the variant changing mechanism potentially switches to a different variant than the one the user selected (unless the manifest is ordered that way already, which it often is). This sorts the the list in the same way.

I ended up flipping this - the rest of the code expects the player to start with the "first" variant in the list, which when sorting in ascending order is the lowest quality variant - not a great default behavior. I updated it to sort on bitrate descending, and then invert the index when setting it in HLS.js.
