Now as you will see by running this example the order in index does not reflect the order of occurence of the symbols.
How do I force index to be ordered by the number of page where the symbol first occured?

You can record an auxiliary counter as the sorting part. This assumes you have less than 1000 symbols (but it can be extended if needed).
In order to cope with multiple occurrences, the first one will set a key.
documentclass[oneside,12pt,a4paper]{memoir}
usepackage{imakeidx}
makeindex[intoc, name=sym,title=Symbol index]
newcounter{indexcount}
newcommand{threedigit}[1]{ifnum #1<100 0fiifnum #1<10 0fi#1}
newcommand{symindex}[1]{%
ifcsnamedetokenize{SYM@@#1}endcsname
index[sym]{csnamedetokenize{SYM@@#1}endcsname @#1}%
else
stepcounter{indexcount}%
expandafterxdefcsname SYM@@detokenize{#1}endcsname{%
expandafterthreedigitexpandafter{romannumeral-`Qtheindexcount}%
}%
index[sym]{threedigit{theindexcount}@unexpanded{unexpanded{#1}}}%
fi
}

this would be more compelling if the example showed multiple page numbers for a particular symbol. as i understand the question, a symbol can be listed as occurring in multiple places, but the sort order should be by the page number of the first occurrence; it would probably be nice if symbols on the "first" page were in the same order in which they actually appear on that page.

@barbarabeeton Thanks for the remarks; it turns out that recording the page number is actually not needed. Anyway, symbols were in the order of appearance in the page also in the previous version.

You can record an auxiliary counter as the sorting part. This assumes you have less than 1000 symbols (but it can be extended if needed).
In order to cope with multiple occurrences, the first one will set a key.
documentclass[oneside,12pt,a4paper]{memoir}
usepackage{imakeidx}
makeindex[intoc, name=sym,title=Symbol index]
newcounter{indexcount}
newcommand{threedigit}[1]{ifnum #1<100 0fiifnum #1<10 0fi#1}
newcommand{symindex}[1]{%
ifcsnamedetokenize{SYM@@#1}endcsname
index[sym]{csnamedetokenize{SYM@@#1}endcsname @#1}%
else
stepcounter{indexcount}%
expandafterxdefcsname SYM@@detokenize{#1}endcsname{%
expandafterthreedigitexpandafter{romannumeral-`Qtheindexcount}%
}%
index[sym]{threedigit{theindexcount}@unexpanded{unexpanded{#1}}}%
fi
}
begin{document}
Some text
% The following two symbols are at page 1
symindex{$(E, mathcal{E})$}

this would be more compelling if the example showed multiple page numbers for a particular symbol. as i understand the question, a symbol can be listed as occurring in multiple places, but the sort order should be by the page number of the first occurrence; it would probably be nice if symbols on the "first" page were in the same order in which they actually appear on that page.

@barbarabeeton Thanks for the remarks; it turns out that recording the page number is actually not needed. Anyway, symbols were in the order of appearance in the page also in the previous version.

@egreg I noticed that when I use your construction some in particular $langle$ is rendered as hA and $rangle$ as B. Do you know what might cause that? Before it rendered as one would expect.
