Supreme Court docket shows orders listed before later-filed reply briefs

The docket for Hoskins v. Von Glahn, a case about Missouri's congressional maps, shows an unusual ordering. Reply briefs were submitted in the early hours of September 8, but Kavanaugh's order denying a request was entered later that evening. Despite the chronological order, the docket lists the order before the briefs, which could mislead readers reviewing the record. The reason for this sorting remains unclear, though it may reflect a procedural rule that gives priority to a Justice's order on a given day.
