And even though Codex Sinaiticus has the Catholic Epistles after Paul (like our modern Bibles and editions), it stills keeps Acts together with the Catholic Epistles because that was the custom among smaller groupings of the New Testament.

Did Benedict and Simonides follow a modern Bible in book order?

And even though Codex Sinaiticus has
the Catholic Epistles after Paul (like our modern Bibles and editions), it stills keeps Acts together with the Catholic Epistles because that was the custom among smaller groupings of the New Testament.

The ordering of the New Testament books?
Does order matter? And how else have the New Testament books been ordered?

Secondly, even though it is the case that the order of books takes on a different significance when they are all bound in a single codex, conventions of ordering were clearly in place in the period before the fourth century. Such conventions of ordering can be seen in a variety of places both internal to the sub-collections which make up the NT (e.g. P46 for Paul; P45 for Gospels & Acts), and in discussions reflecting on the developing NT as a whole (Irenaeus, Muratorian Canon etc.). It is not random that the Gospels precede the apostolic witness. So yes there is no completely settled order for the NT books (nor is there after Sinaiticus since it is only printing that brings all the books together for the masses), but that does not mean there were no areas of general agreement in relation to the ordering of the books.

Christopher De Hamel, The Book : A History of the Bible (London and New York : Phaidon, 2001), calls attention to the “Paris Bibles” of the 13th c. Between 1200 and 1250, ... a new pattern of arranging the books of the Bible in order quickly became standard, as did a new system of chapter divisions and numbers.
