 * **Fix chunks breaking on regex-metadata matches.** Fixes "over-chunking" when `regex_metadata` was used, where every element that contained a regex-match would start a new chunk.
 * **Fix regex-metadata match offsets not adjusted within chunk.** Fixes incorrect regex-metadata match start/stop offset in chunks where multiple elements are combined.
 * **Map source cli command configs when destination set** Due to how the source connector is dynamically called when the destination connector is set via the CLI, the configs were being set incorrectoy, causing the source connector to break. The configs were fixed and updated to take into account Fsspec-specific connectors.
-* **Fix metrics folder not discoverable** Fixes issue where unstructured/metrics folder is not discoverable on PyPI by adding
-an `__init__.py` file under the folder.
+* **Fix metrics folder not discoverable** Fixes issue where unstructured/metrics folder is not discoverable on PyPI by adding an `__init__.py` file under the folder.
 * **Fix a bug when `parition_pdf` get `model_name=None`** In API usage the `model_name` value is `None` and the `cast` function in `partition_pdf` would return `None` and lead to attribution error. Now we use `str` function to explicit convert the content to string so it is garanteed to have `starts_with` and other string functions as attributes
 * **Fix html partition fail on tables without `tbody` tag** HTML tables may sometimes just contain headers without body (`tbody` tag)
+* **Fix out-of-order sequencing of split chunks.** Fixes behavior where "split" chunks were inserted at the beginning of the chunk sequence. This would produce a chunk sequence like [5a, 5b, 3a, 3b, 1, 2, 4] when sections 3 and 5 exceeded `max_characters`.
