I originally found this issue in 1.4.1. However, I just did a cvs
checkout and it occurs there as well.

I've finally had time to revisit this issue. Turns out that kannel
sends multi-part smses in *reverse* order. This happens whether
concatenation is true or false.
For example, lets say I send this 220 character-long message:
"test abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde
fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde
fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde
fghijk abcde fghijk abcde f"
The kannel modem log looks like this (edited for brevity):

Just eye-balling it looks suspicious. Since the message length is
220, the two parts are not going to be the same size. Shouldn't
the big part get sent first?
In fact, decoding the PDUs confirms my suspicion (using this). The
first pdu sent to the modem is
"fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde f"
which is clearly the second part. The second pdu sent to the modem is
"test abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde
fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde fghijk abcde
fghijk abcde fghijk abcde"
which is clearly the first part.
Why is kannel reversing the sms order sent to the modem?

Hi all,
AFAIK, send content through SMS should be managed by a protocol
such as SAR : Segmentation And Reassembly, this is a Mécanism
used to segment and reassemble the different paquets
SAR is used with wap gateway and is supposed to be handled by the
phone as well.
The fact that the packets are arrived in the correct order is upon
the operator responsibility (typically differents SMS are not
always proceed by the same SMSC), there is nothing to do on the
kannel side.
Hope that helps,
Regards

Subject: Re: multi-part sms order
It's normal, and offcourse mobile phone must wait all messages to
arrive first until it can reassemble the message.

My system is sending a lot of multi-part smses. While the sending
works, I've noticed that the parts usually arrive in reverse order
or out of order. e.g., if I'm sending a three-part sms, part
three will arrive at the user's phone first, followed by part two,
followed by part one. The user's phone will of course reassemble
the message, but they must wait to read their message until part
one arrives.
Is anyone else seeing this? Or is it an idiosyncracy of the gsm
phone I'm using to send the messages? I'm using kannel 1.4.1 with
a nokia.
Thanks,
