In general, RRsets aren't ordered. Now, I think a CNAME response that also chases the CNAME (and there's a live question about whether the authoritative-only server ought to do that anyway, but let's assume it's all in-zone to make this simple) is not returning one RRset in the answer section, but I don't think there's any promise anywhere about what order the RRsets come in. Therefore any client that is depending on an order has made a mistake.
