If from Engine first comes A1 and than A2, logically, S1 should come first and than S2------S11 (I do not dispute your information but if possible, please reconfirm).
***
It is sure that for Tatkal, extra coaches are not attached to any of the IR trains (it was a practice in the start).
When charting is done, in a number of trains, the coach
...
more...
position is updated for the day. In such cases, when one checks the status of his / her PNR after charting, the coach position may be seen.
Thanks!

Sir, Your opinion about the no extra coach for thatkal may be right but the coach position I mentioned is right. A1 comes third and a UR seen after the four AC coaches. Then comes S11-S1. It is always arranged like that... I am saying this as Iam a regular passenger from ERN to KJM.

In 6315 sbc-kcvl exp also this type of irregular arrangement is sometimes seen. In some days S1-S11-B2-B1-B3-A1 seen.
One day instead of B3, it was written AS1!!! Old style. Also B1 was a NE coach on that day!
