[Dspace-general] Ordering of Multi-Part Submissions

I have a question about how DSpace orders multi-part submissions, and I 
apologize if the question has already been asked.  We have a number of 
multi-part items in our repository, items where the "document" consists 
of multiple parts, e.g. a report broken into chapters where each chapter 
is a separate bitstream.  It appears when looking at these items that 
the repository, even if the submitter is careful in ordering the parts 
sequentially (chapter 1 before chapter 2), the repository presents the 
"randomly" to someone viewing the item (see 
http://hdl.handle.net/1984/202 as an example).  Does it matter the order 
in which we submit multi-part items or will DSpace always randomize the 
parts on an item view?

Thanks.
