“Now I have work for each of you. Fudge’s attitude, thought not unexpected, changes everything. Sirius, I need you to set off at once. You are to alert Remus Lupin, Arabella Figg, Mundungus Fletcher - the old crowd. Lie low at Lupin’s for a while; I will contact you there.”
— Dumbledore, end up book 4.
I’m going to take a leap and suggest that Dumbledore was so flustered by his encounter with Fudge that he wasn’t thinking straight. That can be the only explanation behind the orders he gave Sirius. Sirius, who was a member of the ‘old crowd’, who was thought to have vilely betrayed them and the Potters, and who was considered a murder, now on the run from the Ministry after breaking out of prison. Yes, Sirius is the perfect person to regather the Order of the Phoenix. What was Dumbledore thinking?!?!?!
A much more rational take on the orders would be for Sirius to alert Remus and have Remus gather the others. Sirius should probably not be approaching former enemies of Voldemort until such a time as Dumbledore can confirm his trustworthiness.
