In an attempt to understand the DMP format track/sector ordering I discovered this sentence in the Anadisk documentation which I thought may be worth sharing.

All sectors occurring on a side will be grouped together; however, they will appear in the same order as they occurred on the diskette. Therefore, if an 8 sector-per-track diskette were scanned which had a physical interleave of 2:1, the sectors might appear in the order'~ 1,5,2,6,3,7,4,8 in the DOS dump file.
