This is new, usually we are told of similarities to the Claromontanus (?) book canon descriptions?

p. 618-619

Where we have manuscripts containing more than one section of the New Testament the precise order of the sections was no more fixed than the sequences within each section. Thus we find manuscripts with the order ape, acp (as in manuscripts Alexandrinus, Vaticanus and Ephraimi Rescriptus and the Majority Text), pac (as in Codex Sinaiticus 9 and some minuscules), pea. What is not clear is whether this was because of a perceived ranking of the sections’ theological significance.

9 The order cpacr of Codex Sinaiticus is also found in the sixth-century Latin manuscript Codex Fuldensis and also in the Complutensian Polyglot.

C - is this a g for gospels
P - Pauline Epistles - Romans to Philemon
A - Acts
C - Catholic Epistles - James Peter, John, Jude
R - Revelation

Kirk says the order is different in eastern.

Book order of Complutensian


Especially in Germany, many and accurate Bible translations were made. Even the first complete Bible in several languages, the Complutensian Polyglot Bible 1514, still shows the Acts of the Apostles after the Hebrew Letter and before the General Epistles.

In the French Bibles, the Letter to the Hebrews is at the end of the Pauline Epistles. But there is a peculiarity, because the Bible of Peter Comestor 1520 ("La bible en francoiz") lists the Acts of the Apostles after the Epistle to the Hebrews, followed by the Universal
