See: Portal ARI unavailable for new applications - #8 by Hutch and 2022 changes applied? - #14 by madalenamonteiro (explaining as a lawyer in charge of applications how she was dealing with the situation).
We do not know how postal applications have been dealt with after the portal opened (ie whether they had to be resubmitted after the portal was up) and whether they were assigned some chronological order.
There certainly will be bunching around June 2022 (as there was for Dec 21) - the June-22 being SEF-created, and the Dec-21 investor-driven.
