determined by the Koszul sign factor.
If two fields have the same time, then their order is preserved e.g.
T(ψ₁(t)ψ₂(t)) = ψ₁(t)ψ₂(t)
and
T(ψ₂(t)ψ₁(t)) = ψ₂(t)ψ₁(t).
This allows us to make sense of the construction in e.g.
https://www.physics.purdue.edu/~clarkt/Courses/Physics662/ps/qftch32.pdf
which permits normal-ordering within time-ordering.
