That is a fine point, mein Freund. If the comic intentionally builds upon each preceding page while occasionally jumping backward or forward in time, then naturally those deviations should remain where the artist intended them.
However, if the pages are simply being ed out of order, the narrative quickly becomes difficult to follow. Chronological order is therefore the safer default.
Think of it like a televised show season: if episode five contains a deliberate flashback, it makes sense within the story. But if episodes five, two, ten, and one were presented in that order without reason, the narrative would become rather confusing.
Unless the story deliberately calls for it, chronological order allows everything to build naturally upon what came before.
