Which words in verse 19, in which describes HOW he formed them, i.e. them being formed out of the ground (and that he brought them to Adam), indicate that God stipulates the animals were formed /after/ Adam?
You have to read it with the previous verse about Adam. "And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast" points out that God formed the beasts after he found Adam alone and in need of a help mate.

The fact that Adam needed a mate in no way indicates that chapter 2 is indicative of the sequence of creation.
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air;
So God clearly created these animals out of the ground.
...and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
God also brought these animals, that he had created out of the ground to Adam.
There is no indication that the animals, the ones that were created out of the ground, were freshly minted only split seconds before he brought them to Adam. To indicate this, there would need to be a “then” inserted, which is not there.
