Its all the doing of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. As Gurbani states:
Page 628, Line 2 -- Guru Arjan Dev
Dur kI bwxI AweI ]
The Bani of His Word emanated from the Primal Lord.
Dhur kee banee aa-ee.
Page 304, Line 16 -- Guru Ram Das
siqgur kI bwxI siq srUpu hY gurbwxI bxIAY ]
The Word of the True Guru`s Bani is the embodiment of Truth; through Gurbani, one becomes perfect.
satgur kee banee sat saroop hai gurbaanee banee-ai.
and as we have seen, Gurbani came from God, and so with the Hlpe of the Lord Guru Ji knew exactly where to put Gurbani, in what order, etc. Also, i have seen a chart which says what each Raag is supposed to mean/represent, ill show it to you, maybe the Raags and their meanings had to do something with the order as well.
