Well, it just means that the partitions are not in the disk order meaning
like in this example (Partition 4 is out of order)

Partition Start End
/dev/hda1 1 1500
/dev/hda2 1501 3000
/dev/hda3 5001 7000
/dev/hda4 3001 5000

This is not exactly a problem I know of. There is an expert's option ('x'
in fdisk) to correct this.
