As for Bulbapedia, I just wanted to let you know: The reason why Keeping In Top Forme! is listed after Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue! on Pokémon.com in season 13 is because that's the standard order of the episodes. TV Tokyo only reversed the order because of the first airing being a one hour special to promote the Shaymin events that were going on and the Ranger game that released around that time. See here: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B01ISA7WJA/ the official Amazon Prime Japan website for the series has Shaymin after Ranger because that's the normal order and the Korean website lists it in this order and the Chinese airings list it in this order as well (with Shaymin as DP169 and Ranger as DP168, rather than Shaymin as DP168 and Ranger as DP169) So I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that the order of those episodes on region 1 DVDs is a "mistake". The reversed order of those episodes is exclusive to the first airings on the TV Tokyo Network (pokemon.co.jp and tv-tokyo.co.jp list episodes based on first airing, you can see that BW144, the Iris and Ibuki special is in the XY list for example).

So yes, even in the original Japanese version, the Ranger episode goes before the Shaymin episode and not after it. TV Tokyo did not air those episodes based on numbers, which is why I usually answer these questions when people ask why the English dub has Shaymin after Ranger but that's because it's only that the original TV Tokyo airing swapped the order to have Shaymin come before Ranger. So I think it's a stretch to list it as a "mistake", and all the lists with DVDs on Bulbapedia that list it with Shaymin before Ranger is added by users going off the Japanese order without actually checking those discs but I can guarantee you that on the discs themselves Shaymin comes after Ranger because of the whole thing about the episode being intentionally swapped out of place on the first Japanese airing only.
