About the 'Later Heaven' bagua

Compared to the 'Early Heaven' bagua the 'Later Heaven' circle of trigrams seems to be disordered. The only clue we got from the Ten Wings is that in this arrangement the trigrams move in a circular motion:  

Chapter  V. 8. God comes forth in Kăn (to His producing work); He brings (His processes) into full and equal action in Sun; they are manifested to one another in Lî; the greatest service is done for Him in Khwăn; He rejoices in Tui; He struggles in Khien; He is comforted and enters into rest in Khân; and He completes (the work of the year) in Kăn. (Wilhelm-Legge)

But it's also possible that this verse is just simply a mnemonic.

Joseph F. Morales made a great effort to collect and organize all the information about the After Heaven Trigram Sequence.

I just want to add one more observation: In this circle, the inverse pairs are at different distances from each other.

And we have a question: Is this bagua-circle connected with the King Wen-sequence, or not?
