Question: is it standard practice in some fields to have the "methods" section after the results and discussion sections (i.e. tacked onto the end of the paper)? I've just seen it for the first time, wondering if this is common.

Should also clarify that in some cases this is TRUE (if perhaps still not a great justification). Rodent studies, for example, often give the lineage of the animals, feeding schedules etc which can run to pages of info

Fine, put that detail in the appendix. But the main details of the methods should be before the results. It's not a press release. EVERYTHING relies on the methods. They should be front and centre.
