In order to say there are "more" chaotic worlds, you have to pick a measure to put on the space of all possible worlds.
If you did want to put a measure on the space of all possible worlds, nothing forces you to put more weight on the chaotic ones than the ordered ones.
With a measure, you can give probabilities to things - but as you've noticed, those probabilities may not correspond to your current informal notion of probability.
