I think they are arranged for best "listening experience" order. In other words, I think they try to set up the tracks so that listening to the CD is a nicely balanced, pleasant experience, perhaps with alternating slow and upbeat tracks for variety.
That's the point. John Williams said as much several years ago. All soundtracks that are released are done for pure listening experience. That's why many scores are not released in chronological order or with every cue included. Mainly because some cues are rather short. This is especially true of the second and third Superman soundtracks.
