It's the order. So if you e.g. create an insert and then you have a format on top of it, then format is listed first, then the insert. The thinking is that ordering by date is not a good idea when you should not trust the date of the entries, since it's simple user input. [ Note that this is not something I invented, it's like this in documents even from OOo times for "delete on top of insert", I just noticed that this is not in ODF. ] > What should happen if the <dc:date> of the <office:change-info> elements are > in contrast to the type of elements?

The properties of the change (author name, date, comment) is all informational. The type and order of the changes is what's important. The following combinations are what I handle so far in tdf#166319: - delete on insert: this means reducing the result if a proposed insert - format on insert: this results in a plain format on accepting the insert - format on delete: this results in a plain format on rejecting the delete These have a well-defined meaning, also in other formats like DOCX.
