[R-sig-ME] [lme4 package] Does the order of rows(trials) in a data frame (long format) affect the results of the lmer model (maybe somehow)?

*I believe that the order shouldn't matter, but I don't know why I got
different results after fitting the same model in a data frame that is
ordered differently. *

*Here are my R codes. Did I use the order() function wrongly such that I
got different results?*

*The lmer model fitted with the data frame before it is ordered (There were
no warning messages, and the model was able to converge.):*

*Model1<-lmer(Stimulus.RT~
1+A*B*C+(1+A|Subject)+(1+A*B*C|Item)+(1+A*B*C|Category),
data=edata,verbose=2,control=lmerControl(optCtrl=list(maxfun=500000)))*

*The verbose results are as follows:*
npt = 77 , n =  75

*If we compare the two model summaries, we can see that the model summaries
are really similar, with very little differences in values. Nevertheless,
because Model2 failed to converge, I don't know if the model summary is
still reliable and ok to report.*

*Thank you for your time and I truly welcome and appreciate your comments.*

Best,
Zhaohong
