Mesorat%20hashas for Avodah Zarah 13:5
ורב הונא משום דאין סדר למשנה דאיכא למימר סתם תנא ברישא ואחר כך מחלוקת אי הכי כל מחלוקת ואחר כך סתם לימא אין סדר למשנה
And as to R. Huna? [His statement is necessary] because there may be no order to the Mishnah, so that it could be said that the anonymous statement was quoted earlier and the differing opinions later. But if that were so, every case of differing opinions followed by an anonymous one, we could say there is no order to the Mishnah!
