It does not matter for the decipherment. Take an Old Testament, a version
in a language you do not know (will Hebrew do?). Change the order of
the verses to your heart's content. Each verse can still be deciphered.
Take the Koran now. The surats are sorted in order of decreasing length,
so that they do not follow logically from one another. Does that make
it unreadable? No. Each surat is a whole. Each page of the VMs can be
considered as a whole. In the case of the herbal, and the pharmaceutical
section, it IS a whole. Shuffle the folios to your heart's content,
it won't make a difference for the decipherment.
