When reviewing materials in any case file (court record, military pension, homestead, etc.), put the papers in chronological order of their execution–not their recording.
Viewing the items in the order in which they were created will make it easier to analyze them and interpret them correctly. It is always important to understand the paperflow.

The order in which you find the file is not necessarily the order in which the papers were recorded. Another person may have looked at the file and changed its original document order for some reason.
