Curious record side labeling

Do any of the jazz gurus on here know why some double-set records have this curious side labeling where record 1 has sides A and D, and record 2 sides B and C? It does not make much sense to me, and I wonder what purpose it serves other than to confuse the listener. I noticed this with a couple of Coltrane records from the '60s, recently with "The Other Village Vanguard Tapes."

Does anyone know if the side sequencing has been changed with recent repressing.
I'm listening to Tommy and hate the 1-4, 2-3 sequencing. I would definitely purchase some Lp's again to get it right.
