Instead of the Jewish order of the TaNaK, they placed the major prophets last (including Daniel), after the Ketuvim. This corresponded with the idea that the primary value of the Christian Old Testament was to point toward their prophesied Christian Christ. 

This is the reason for the different arrangements. Interesting indeed! Is there a source for that?

I don't think we can say who is responsible for the change in order of books in the expansion of the Septuagint. Much of this is lost to history. That's why I only say the Christian ordering of the books of their Old Testament corresponds with with the idea that the primary value of the Christian Old Testament was to point toward their prophesied Christian Christ. There is evidence that the Qumran sectarians used and considered the book of Daniel as one of the Prophets, but that does not necessarily imply they would have proposed a divergent order of books than that which became standard among Jews. 

As for sources, just look at the order of books in the Hebrew scriptures and compare it to that which is found in the earliest extant full Christian bibles (three very large 4th & 5th century codices: Vaticanus, Sinaiticus & Alexandrinus) and in modern Catholic & Protestant bibles. When I have time, I can look for a good comparison table if you can't find one.
