Was the episode "Where no man has gone before" produced before "Charlie X" despite being aired after

Do really wish "Where No Man Has Gone Before" aired first, don't dislike "The Man Trap" (and like a lot "Charlie X") but unfortunate that such an obviously early-set episode, and I think really good, better than "TMT" introduction, did air real early but not just air first.
I doubt WNMHGB was intended to be "in rotation". Post Production delays were probably a factor as to why it was. Looking at production order Corbomite should have been first. Man Trap is further down the list

Sticking WNMHGB at third after the similarly themed Charlie X seems desperate.

I like shouty-Spock. Yes, it goes against his line about Bailey raising his voice in Corbomite. Or maybe not. It was unnecessary for Bailey to raise his voice because it wasn't the time.

I always liked the formality that Nimoy brought to it when he shouted commands or status. As far as Spock was concerned, if this is the way it is done then this is the way he shall do it. Kind of like in Wrath of Khan when he says in otherwise clipped and perfect diction: "Take 'er out, Mr. Saavik." He made dropping the H into part of the process.
I've never heard anybody refer to it as 'er into this moment. Why would this happen only in WRAT OF KAN?:techman:

If I were Bailey, and I knew Spock shouted in the past, I probably would have told him ''Eat phasers, Crite hypo!'' or something equally out of the blue. If I were Bailey.
 
Speaking of WNMHGB, I have a question, there is an "extended" version, yes? I'd love to pick that up. I have the extended version of "The Cage" on my S3 DVD pack of TOS. Where is the best place to get the extended version of WNMHGB?
