It concerns the weekday, well Monday-Wednesday strip.

Is it being run in the original production order?

I notice this because this past Wednesday they ran Tag Sale You're It though I had thought Ice Station Impossible was where we first meet Billy and Doc White.

Actually TSYI felt more like an intro episode than ISI did.

I also noticed that Mid-Life Chrysalis was shown before Eeny-Meeny-Miney Magic.

^Have I just answered my own question?

Yeah, the episodes are running in the original production order, but when VB premiered the order was shuffled around on at least two occaisions IIRC.

Isn't the production number run going to be a problem at the end? Acording to TVTome the finale is actually 11th, with both Past Tense (The college flashback one) and the Trial of the Monach being produced after the finale.

Surely they won't air those in Production number order?

D'OH!, actually you are right about that. Due to production it would be impossible to air season 1 in chronological order because at the minimum it would spoil the season finale, a full two episodes ahead of the production order finale.

They would have to run Return To Spider Skull Island as last to fit the chronological order of the episodes. The boys are killed at the end for Chrissakes, actually several shows' season finales are not the last ones produced.

A well known example was the first season finale of Babylon 5, it was actually the 12th episode produced from the first season's 22 episodes.
