One reason for putting the entries in version number order rather than in chronological order was so that debuild -v3.6.1-5 would close all the bugs tagged fixed-in-experimental from 3.7.0-1 and 3.7.0-2. To be honest, I didn't investigate whether the right thing would have happened had I gone in chronological order.
It seems to work fine, for reference. I'm not sure anyone could tell the difference between you applying security patch A then experimental patch B, versus doing them in the other order anyway.
