# Sequencing and Retransmission

Each sending CM transport assigns sequence numbers serially for each outbound subject, so the sequence numbers reflect the order of messages from the sending transport on a specific subject.

Certified messages always dispatch from the event queue in order by sequence number.

For example, a certified listening transport is receiving certified delivery of the subject `FOO` from a certified sender named `BAZ`. After receiving and queuing message number `32`, the next message to arrive is message `35`. Certified delivery software holds message `35` until it can first queue messages `33` and `34`; once these messages arrive, the listening transport queues events for each of the three messages in the proper order.

Meanwhile, the certified listening transport automatically requests retransmission of messages `33` and `34` from `BAZ`. In a case where the time limit on those messages has expired—so `BAZ` no longer has them in its ledger—the certified listener transport presents a `DELIVERY.UNAVAILABLE advisory, indicating that messages `33` and `34` are no longer available. Then it queues an event for message `35`.`

Notice that although certified messages always dispatch from the queue in order of sequence number, it is still possible that a program might process them out of order. For example, if a program dispatches the queue from several threads, the thread processing number `43` might return from its callback function before the thread processing number `42`.
