Jews basically are way smarter and have the right way and Christians are wrong, so it doesn't really matter
Another Answer:
The Bible was originally given by God in His Divine Order. Men, Jews and Christians, have taken it upon themselves to alter it. Originally, the Bible had 49 books or 7x7 which is God's number for Completion (22 OT & 27 NT). Some Christians have 66 books whereas the RC Church has 73 - 7 more in the OT and at one time had 77 or 11 Apocrypha books.
The Jews place Daniel in the 'Minor Prophets' because he was a Eunuch and that perhaps made him inferior in their minds or because he prophecized about pagan people and this was athema to Jews. They also separated out Ezra-Nehemiah to have 24 books so as not to have a total number that reflects any significant meaning to readers in the Christian world (49 see above). Sounds just as political to me as any other man.
