 According to the [DACS Statement of Principles](https://saa-ts-dacs.github.io/dacs/04_statement_of_principles.html#original-order-and-arrangement-as-archival-context), original order is an instance of archival context to be documented, but should not be exclusively situated as the central guiding principle of archival arrangement decisions.[^1] Throughout the lifespan of an archival collection, the creator may have changed the arrangement many times to suit their activities and needs, which is one of a myriad of reasons that the concept of original order becomes complicated. The way a creator initially used or maintained their records may not correspond to the order in which a collection was received.[^2] While archivists should avoid altering the received order of a collection prior to processing, they should also not assume that the order in which a collection was received aligns with the manner in which the records were used or kept by the creator.[^3]
 
 Some collections arrive without any obvious signs of order, let alone the original order. A collection may arrive in disarray for any number of reasons, and may require the archivist to impose an order to create context for the researcher. The received order may differ due to the collection having been partially processed by another archivist or altered by a third party. For example, if a seller physically rearranged the collection while in their possession, it may be difficult for an archivist to decipher what the original order was. The archivist should avoid altering the received order prior to conducting a thorough survey of the collection and obtaining context of the materials.
