The way to re-order components in IISiBat is to go to "control cards" 
(assembly/control cards, or the "document icon") and to select the 
component order tab.

If that is not the problem, please make sure that you connected the 
"time of last data read" and "time of next data read" inputs. Failure to 
do so will give that error.

I am not sure I understand your problem, but all data readers output the 
values at next (data) time step (outputs 101 and above).

Kind regards,
