wrong order
Items placed incorrectly
Wrong order describes items, steps, or elements arranged contrary to their intended or logical sequence.
Documents with pages in the wrong order are jumbled; a story told in the wrong order confuses the listener.
At restaurants, a wrong order means receiving food you didn't request: The waiter brought me the wrong order—I asked for the salad, not the soup.
