Is it necessary to maintain the order in Qadha prayers for the two Dhuhr and two Maghrib prayers, or can we perform the Sunnah of Maghrib followed by the Sunnah of Isha? Also, is there an issue if someone performs a whole day's prayers in a scattered manner, for example, praying Fajr, Maghrib, then Dhuhr, Isha, and then Asr, without prioritizing the later prayers over the earlier ones in both cases?

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him) and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
It is not necessary to maintain the order in Qadha prayers except for the two Dhuhr and two Isha prayers of the same day. It is not valid to perform Asr before Dhuhr of the same day, nor is it valid to perform Isha before Maghrib of the same day.
Therefore, you can perform the Qadha as you mentioned in your question, that is, performing the Sunnah of Maghrib followed by the Sunnah of Isha. You can also perform Fajr, then Maghrib, then Dhuhr, then Asr, and Isha. The important thing is to maintain the order between Dhuhr and Asr of the same day and between Maghrib and Isha of the same day.
May you be successful in all good.
