The Pulpit Commentary on Leviticus 1:8

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

And the priests shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order. The head and the fat are designated by name, because, with the "pieces," they complete the whole of the animal with the exception of the hide.

The order in which they were laid is said to have been the same approximately as that which the members held in the living creature.
