Just wondering if there is a pattern or specific algo which it goes through to order a polygon mesh's vertices?

Go to Display > Custom Polygon Display □ and in the window that opens, check Show Item Numbers > Vertices, and keep this window opened.

Take the Create Poly Tool, create some geometry and press the Apply button from the opened window.

Take the Append to Poly Tool and add some more geometry to the existing one.

Make more experiments like deleting or adding vrtx or creating poly primitives and deleting parts of them or even combining them and you will quickly find out for yourself how Maya deals with the vertex order.
