Issues caused by Appendix appearing before the references in the manuscript
What is the issue that requires troubleshooting in this case ?
In this case, the Appendix appears before the references. This will cause it to be tagged as normal body text and not as an appendix.
Where is the fault ?
If any figure or a similar float which is a part of Appendix, it will be treated as a normal float in the body, and not as Appendix float. This will cause issues as the article moves to the further stages.
