uasort($arr, function ($row_a, $row_b) {                                                                                                                     
    if ($row_a['score'] == $row_b['score']) {

For arrays where items have the same value, you can't depend on them being sorted in a repeatable format.

From the manual page http://php.net/manual/en/function.uasort.php. 
Note:
If two members compare as equal, their relative order in the sorted array is undefined.


I'd suggest adding an element to the array before sorting, that stores what position the item was at before the sorting, and then in the comparison function, if the scores are equal, also compare by the initial position for the entries.
