Order of the rivers edit

Is the order of the rivers correct? I remember having read somewhere that the Griffith translation has not the correct order. The Sanskrit original has a different order than the Griffith translation (RV.75.5):

इमं मे गङगे यमुने सरस्वति शुतुद्रि सतेमं सचता परुष्ण्या | असिक्न्या मरुद्व्र्धे वितस्तयार्जीकीये शर्णुह्यासुषोमया || imaṃ me ghaṅghe yamune sarasvati śutudri stemaṃ sacatā paruṣṇyā | asiknyā marudvṛdhe vitastayārjīkīye śṛṇuhyāsuṣomayā ||
