[Patentcenter] ADS Domestic Benefit Claims Re-Ordered Out of Order

[John Smith]

Thank you for the heads-up!

IIRC, this same thing happened for several months about five or so years
ago in the Web-ADS in EFS-Web.  You entered the benefit claim correctly,
but it was reordered in the resulting PDF file, which the USPTO then
transferred to the filing receipt!

I wonder if there is a connection?
