Thanks Alex to point it out - yes, you are right, pin direction indicates it

However, can some expert explain how can be “campaign medal” between the State awards on that bar C ? Don’t know the imperial Japanese regulations well but can it be the case that the Rising Sun is order and Sacred Treasure medal?

Also bar D - why medal is first and then Rising Sun?

All the best,

Timo
