I'm curious why the order of IM is as it is--butterfly, back, ***, then free? It doesn't seem to be the order of speed.
Also, has there been any medalist in world competitions whose "freestyle" was not front crawl (not necessarily in a medley, but maybe in just "Freestyle" competition)?

Don't the rules for IM say the fourth leg must be a stroke other than the three previous legs? So effectively you're limited to front crawl.
What about dolphin kicking all the way? Does that count as a kind of stroke?
I wonder why there is no dolphin kick competition?
