Why does the Torah list the B'nos Tz'lofchad in a different order than in Parshas Pinchas (27:1)?

1.

Rashi: Refer to Pinchas, 27:1:2:1**. And the reason that it lists them here in order of age is because that is the order in which they got married. 1

2.

Bava Basra, 120a (citing Tana de'bei R. Yishmael): To teach us that they were all equal in wisdom. 2

1

Rashi: The fact that the Torah switches the order teaches us that they were all equally virtuous.

See Torah Temimah, note 17, who elaborates.
