Circuits
A circuit is a set of temples a tradition names together. Some are fixed in a hymn that gives them an order; most are not. Both are here, and the difference is marked, because a numbered list implies a sequence somebody prescribed.
Ordered by a source
A text, a temple authority or a state body fixes the sequence. The order shown is that source's, not ours.

No source fixes an order
The set is agreed; the sequence is not. These are listed without numbers on purpose — for the Char Dham in particular, no text, matha, temple authority or government source prescribing an order could be found at all.
