Verse
Ex28-10a
discussing
the order of tribal names on the stones attached
to the priests clothing states
states
Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names on
the other stone, according to their birth.
Rashi clarifies the underlined words
according to their birth
by referencing verses
Gn29-31 -- Gn30-24
which states
And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, Surely the Lord has looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the Lord has heard that I was hated, he has therefore given me this son also; and she called his name Simeon.
Hence the Rashi comment:
The tribal names on the two stones were sequenced
according to the order in which the 12 tribes were born.
Reuven was born first so his name comes first; Shimon was
born second so his name comes second.

Advanced Rashi: The tribal names occurred
in several places in the priest garments. There are various controversies
on the order of names. My purpose in this email group is only to
expose the underlying methods used to determine order. A detail
discussion of the controversies and to where they apply would take
us beyond the goals of this email newsletter.
