Abstract: A method and system for maintaining command queue order are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, commands are read from a host, storing command queue IDs in an array that will keep the queue IDs in order. After having the queue IDs stored in the array, the commands are processed in the data storage device (DSD).

If a particular command of the sequence is not found, the completion order adjustment module will wait to transfer the sequence until each command of the sequence is found. For commands not part of a sequence, these commands are transferred to the host.
