[Avodah] order of mishnayot

[Eli Turkel]

REMT says

<<The p'rakim date back at least to the time of the amora'im.  In Bava
M'tzia 35a, Rava says that he was learning from Rav Nachman, "upirkin
Hamafkid hava."  The individual mishanyos would appear to be the decisions
of printers; apparently, each perek consisted of a single mishna, as is the
case of the first perek of Sanhedrin as printed in the standard Bavli.  In
many places, what are different mishnayos of a perek in all printings are
referred to in the g'mara as "reisha" and "seifa," indicating that they are
parts of the same mishna.>>

Nevertheless the order of some perakim is different between our gemarot and
that in the mishnayot.
Note that in theory this would affect the order of a stam mishna mishna
versud a machloket (I dont know if
any such case occurs in practice)
