Ted,
Would really appreciate an explanation of the reasoning behind this please.
An intellectually handicapped mind would like to know !
With the half nut on first, I can see that the load on its threads are
likely to be less but I can't even hazzard a guess as to why it matters
which nut is held firm while the other is locked up.

A container will be leaving Florida soon for New Zealand. It will
contain 1 Europa so will only be half full. Anyone wishing to use the
remaining space should contact Ross.
