I don’t think there was ever an ‘incorrect order’. The SC came out and slowed the cars that had already stopped (JW,LH etc). This allowed those who hadn’t stopped (SVG,SM) to get in and out without losing position.

This is correct.
Holdsworth and everyone else who didn't illegally overtake the safety car never passed McLaughlin (who was leading when the SC came out) on track.
Lee was in 11th and technically almost a lap behind when he got waved past the SC on lap 16, which was a full 1.5 laps after he and Whincup had been picked up by it on lap 14.
