Which would bring us to the next point. It must have some meaning. There are 54! different possible combinations of a deck of cards. A meaningful order is far far more probable than a meaningless order. I would conclude if it was ace to king, seperated by suits that someone put it that way.
--------------------------------------------------
Time to recheck that statistics 101 book, I think. Assuming a deck of random cards, all combinations are equally probable. It is just as likely that you would draw a Royal Flush as it is any other hand. Meaning has nothing to do with the selection of the cards. The only meaning involved would come from the observer.
