That's what I also do.  But why have objectives in a random order
when they could be presented in an order that makes sense? Why
make it hard to compare training material (because their authors
chose different orders) when we all could have an order everybody
agrees with?

All my trainees have been uncomfortable with 103 as it is.  When
I explain to them that I'm going to reorder subtopics, they all
find that annoying because they might have a book that chose a
different ordering and because it's cumbersome to them to align
all of that with the objectives.

Why make things difficult when it would be easy to make them
simpler?
