English translation: in that order (of prevalence)

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Japanese term or phrase:の順であった
English translation:in that order (of prevalence)

Medical - Medical (general) / handicaps in children
Japanese term or phrase: の順であった
This is taken from the context I gave before, and may be perfectly simple, however I'd like to make sure I'm not missing anything.

障害では脳性麻痺、重複障害重度、癲癇合併の順であった。

Does this simply mean that among the subject group there were these handicaps? Is there any implication of level or rank as given by "順" ?
If there is some sort of rank, does this then imply that the first listed is the most severe?

Cheers!

Explanation:
CalumR,

I think your instinct is correct. There is an order, or else why would it say 順であった. But it's not the severity that constitutes the order.
From the additional context you provided, the author's writing style is very judicious, and to me it is obvious that he(she) is listing 脳性麻痺、重複障害重度、癲癇合併 in that order by the "number of responses collected".

In other words, let me fabricate mock figures:
among the 165 responses,
脳性麻痺 30 responses
重複障害重度 12 responses
癲癇合併 3 responses

The author is listing the 3 most prominent disability cases, judging by the number of responses.

Explanation:
In this text, only with the term "順", it is not sure that there is a sort of level or rank in these symptons. However, it can be considered that these symptons are appeared in this order.

In the light of the texted added later, the target term seems to be for a number, that is, the level of the number of patients.

disagree  Mika Jarmusz: 典型的な統計報告の文章で、意味もなく「の順であった」と書いたとは到底思われません。得られた回答数で判断した「順に並べて」報告してあるのだと思います。
