Except as permitted in (a)(3), the administrative record must be organized in the following order, as applicable:
The list of documents in (1) is not intended to limit the content of the administrative record, which is prescribed in Public Resources Code section 21167.6(e).
The documents may be organized in a different order from that set out in (1) if the court so orders on;
Oversized documents included in the record must be presented in a manner that allows them to be easily unfolded and viewed.
The administrative record must be separated by tabs or marked with electronic bookmarks that identify each part of the record listed above.
A detailed index must be placed at the beginning of the administrative record. The index must list each document in the administrative record in the order presented, or in chronological order if ordered by the court, including title, date of the document, brief description, and the volume and page where it begins. The index must list any included exhibits or appendixes and must list each document contained in the exhibit or appendix (including environmental impact report appendixes) and the volume and page where each document begins. A copy of the index must be filed in the court at the time the administrative record is lodged with the court.
A court may require each party filing a brief to prepare and lodge an appendix of excerpts that contains the documents or pages of the record cited in that party’s brief.
