The tabernacle or sacred tent of their Divine King, with the camp of the Levites around it (see on Nu 3:38), formed the center, as does the chief's in the encampment of all nomad people. In marching, this order was adhered to, with some necessary variations. Judah led the way, followed, it is most probable, by Issachar and Zebulun [Nu 10:14-16].

Next will be the tribe of Gad
on Numbers 2:14-16
Gad's 45,650 is the only tribal figure in the census that does not end in a round hundred. It is why the grand total at verse 32 ends in fifty. The south camp comes to 151,450, and “they shall set out second”.
This site's exposition
his division numbers 45,650
Gad completes the south camp with 45,650. John Calvin says Gad, born to Leah's servant Zilpah, would accept serving under a son of Leah. Gad and Reuben later seek the same pastures in Gilead at Numbers 32:1.
