apologies if this question has been asked before... I'm not having some search difficulty.
Do the chronicles assigned to a GM credit blob have to be assigned in the order that they were GMed in? For example, I have a character number that has never been played, and that I have assigned several chronicles to. If I then GM "The Confirmation" am I able to assign that at the beginning of the characters chronicles, as if it had been GMed at an earlier date than the later chronicles, or am I going to have to assign it to a new PC number instead?

If you already assigned 3 tier 1/1-2 chronicles to that number and you ran The Confirmation as Tier 1. I believe you must assign it to a new number. If you have not assigned 3 more tier 2/1-3, and you ran The Confirmation as Tier 2, then you could add it to your current number.
If you do also have 3 more tier 2/1-2 chronicles assigned to that number, then you do need to assign The Confirmation to a new number.
E.g. You ran 6 evergreens or tier 1-2 sessions, then you have no room for The Confirmation.

Yes. The only exception would be higher tier chronicles that you're holding to apply once you're in tier.
If your character already has 6 or more XP, then it's not valid to have a chronicle from 'the Confirmation' assigned to it.

The subtier that you ran a scenario at has no bearing on whether it is a valid chronicle for a character or not. The rewards for a GM chronicle are based on the character's current subtier, even if that's different from the subtier you GMed at.

Thanks. I had been placed under the impression that if I ran a 4-5 of a 1-5, for example, then I had to hold it until a character was 4th level.

The subtier you GM at has no relevance to the chronicle you get as a GM.Not... entirely true.
A GM who receives a Chronicle sheet that indicates her character is between subtiers must always receive the Out-of-Subtier gold value and access to items and boons for the subtier at which the adventure was played.If the character you're assigning the GM credit to is in between subtiers, technically you're supposed to get access to the items/boons of the subtier you actually ran the scenario at.
That is a very surprising rule.

That's been the rule for quite some time.
Back before there was an out-of-subtier gold amount, the rule was that a GM character that was between subtiers always had to play down, and take the low-subtier chronicle.
This rule is meant to balance the fact that the GM’s character doesn’t have to expend any resources or risk death while gaining a Chronicle sheet for running a scenario
With GtOPV5.0 (released in August 2013) the rule was amended to say that the GM's character got out-of-subtier gold, but said nothing about access to items and boons. The explanatory text quoted above was still included, though.
Eventually, in GtOPV7.0 (2015), the explanatory text was removed. At that time the rule for out-of-subtier GM rewards was also changed to the version we see today.

Yeah, but in almost all things, how the players did during the adventure has no bearing on what the GM attaches to his own character. Perhaps because it's just not relevant, or perhaps to avoid bad incentives.
So now the rule gets you one of three cases:
A) GM's character is below or in low tier: low tier items/boons.
B) GM's character is in between tiers: items/boons of the tier the players played.
C) GM's character is in high tier: high tier items/boons.
