Additional Information

The sort order of the transformations is changed by adding new transformations and adjusting the accuracies some existing ones. It can occur at any release and affect anyone. In this case, a decision made by the GDA2020 working group is to emphasize GDA2020-based data and transformations over GDA94-based ones.

Workaround

Change the transformation to 'GDA 1944 to WGS 1984' (1150) in the map properties in ArcGIS Pro.
