Also worth noting is that specifying a different order is commonplace
and happens all the time without us thinking about it. For example, in
"I submit the following proposal and pend it with paper", technically
you haven't submitted the proposal until after its full text appears in
the message, so 'I pend it with paper' would need to be under the
proposal text if sequential order was absolutely required.
