Re-Submitting Spouse Green Card package -- Should I re-order the USCIS "organizing" of documents?

Due to a dumb mistake (we used an outdated version of the i485), my wife's green card application was rejected last month, and my i130 alongside it.   We are re-submitting with the updated form, but a bit bewildered by the way the USCIS processed our previous package; and we are also Adding the i765 and i131 (the silver lining on this problem was realizing we should do this). 

 

However, Lots of evidence (e.g. bank records, travel records, travel history i20 documents, etc) has been sorta mixed up together and then stapled into piles.   Many of the piles make sense, but a few just plain Don't.  And they have evidence that belongs with two different forms.   

 

The main reasons I hesitate to re-organize everything is that :

  1.  there are clear computerized scanner signs on the bottom of every piece of paper, showing they've really been processed by some system there.  
  2. after three phone calls to the USCIS hotline asking about this, I can't get a better answer than "follow the instructions sent to you" (which to be clear, simply state that i485 needs to be the latest edition).   

 

Any insights on how to re-submit all this??  Any insights on the rhyme or reason behind the USCIS's method of piling and stapling things in a bit of a mish mash at times??   Thank you in advance for your answers.

They sort the package into the order that they want to see it in. May not make sense to us, but it is what it is :)

 

I would add what you have to, and send it back the way you found it.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

I heard they typically include a green paper that you can just put on top as an indication that they have re-organize it.

Here is someone with a similar situation
