Why does Ordinance Ready allow ordinances to be done out of order?

Thank you for contacting FamilySearch Community.

From the FamilySearch Help Center: The Ordinances Ready feature allows sealings to be done before the individual ordinances. It is acceptable to perform these sealing-to-spouse ordinances without checking that the individual ordinances have been performed.

The ordinances do not become effective until all the temple ordinances are completed.

Here is an article that will explain in more detail for you:
