According to Reuben Swanson's edition of 2 Corinthians (New Testament
Manuscripts: Variant Readings Arranged in Horizontal Lines against Codex
Vaticanus: 2 Corinthians [Tyndale House and William Carey International
University Press, 2005]), which gives in an appendix the order of the
Pauline corpus in all the MSS that Swanson utilized in making his edition,
Claromontanus/D06 reads as follows:
Rom
1-2 Cor
Gal
Eph
Col
Philippians
1-2 Thess
1-2 Timothy
Titus
Philemon
Hebrews
C. R. Gregory (in his Prolegomena to Tischendorf's eighth ed of his NT)
states: "Col praecedit Phil, et Heb sequitur Philem", thereby implicitly
agreeing with Swanson re the rest of the list.
There is also a list of biblical books--of uncertain date and provenance,
and written in Latin--that was found *in* Codex Claromontanus (between
Philemon and Hebrews); it lists the books of the OT and NT. In it the
Pauline letters are as follows (full NT list in Metzger, Canon, pp.
310-311):
Romans
1-2 Cor
Gal
Eph
1-2 Timothy
Titus
Col
Philemon
I mention this latter list mainly because one recent volume (L. McDonald,
The Biblical Canon [Hendrickson, 2007] 451 gives as the contents of
Claromontanus / 06 not the contents of that manuscript, but instead the
contents of that unusual--but unrelated--list that was found in the
manuscript (probably following D. J. Theron, Evidence of Tradition [Baker,
1957] 122-3, who makes the same mistake).

Subject: [B-Greek] Question re. codex Claromontanus
I've read somewhere that codex Claromontanus (D 06) has the Pastoral
Epistles in the order Titus - 1 Timothy - 2 Timothy, the same order as the
Muratorian Fragment.
Is this correct? All the online discussions of Claromontanus seem to
indicate that it follows the canonical order in the Pastorals.
(I'm not even sure where I'd look to check on this info, so I thought I
should ask the list.)
