What can we tell from studying the sequence of chapters/sections in textbooks past and present?

Sequence of courses

Are authors expressing the need to study physics in a single, canonical sequence?

Does the sequence of chapters in textbooks for other fields vary more? Can this be evidence for a strictness that repels students who might benefit from a different sequence?
