Originally, the first three tractates were counted as a single, very lengthy tractate. Since it was the chief repository of "civil" law, it was simply called Masechet Nezikin (The Tractate of Damages). The traditional reasoning for the order is as follows. The order begins with civil law (the first 3 tractates) because it is considered the cornerstone of righteousness within a Jewish state. It follows with Sanhedrin as the source of criminal law. Makkot follows as it is a continuation of Sanhedrin's subject matter in terms of criminal procedure. Shevuot follows because it continues the general topic dealt with in Makkot of the false testimony. After outlining the main points of civil and criminal law, Eduyot follows to fit it all into a halakhic framework. After dealing with "damages" within a society, the next stage is Avodah Zarah placed after to highlight what is seen as behaviour that inflicts damage on the universe. Avot is probably placed there to counteract negativity and relate maxims of the Sages, an essential aspect of whose teaching was to counteract idolatry. Finally, Horayot brings the discussion from lofty heights to a humble note, highlighting the conce[t even the Sages and Bet Din can err. There is both a Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud to each of the tractates except for Eduyot and Avot. This is probably because these two tractates aren't concerned with individual laws and therefore don't lend themselves to a Gemara style analysis.
