As you can see the order of placement for redirect matters a lot as unless
I'm mistaken in the second case mx would never be evaluated.

You are mistaken. The placement of the redirect modifier has no bearing on the evaluation of the mx directive or any other mechanism.

But I note that my point was actually about order of modifers between each
other. The current text says that order of modifiers does not matter, I
think it does matter and if redirect is placed before explnation modifier then explanation is ignored (can people who write spf libraries confirm if
this is so?).

You are mistaken again.  The relative order of modifiers doesn't matter.
