I've altered the order of appearance of the soviet republics flags in accord to the time when the capital of the countries (and/or the whole countries) became part of the Muscovy/Russian Empire or Soviet Union:

Ukraine: 1667
Belarus: 1793
Georgia: 1801
Azerbaijan: 1813
Armenia: 1828
Kazakhstan: 1854, 1863
Uzbekistan: 1865
Tajikistan: 1868
Kyrgyzstan: 1876, 1877
Turkmenistan: 1884, 1894
Estonia: 1721, 1940
Latvia: 1721, 1795, 1940
Lithuania: 1795, 1940
Moldova: 1812, 1940

At the same time, this organization also shows the republics in a logical geographical/ethnic grouping:

Slavic bloc: Ukraine, Belarus

Caucasian bloc: Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia

Central Asian bloc: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan

Baltic bloc: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania

Eastern European bloc: Moldova

[edit] Order of Soviet COAs and flags

Hi Explendido,

Could you explain more about the reason why ("Constitutional order") you have changed the display order of the coats of arms and flags of Soviet Union?

Saudações do Brasil,
