They could have been processed in alphabetical order.
They were processed on the “date filed”. Janice Okubo said that the “date filed” is the date that the BC# was given at the HDOH office. So even if everything was alphabetized on Aug 8th, those BC’s would all get earlier BC#’s than anything “filed” on the 11th.
But Obama’s was supposedly given a number on the 8th and it’s a higher/later number than the Nordykes which were assigned a number on the 11th.
