(1) If $Z_1,\dots,Z_n$ are the ordered factors of a composition series for $X$, then is any permutation $Z_{\sigma 1},\dots,Z_{\sigma n}$ also the ordered factors of a composition series for $X$? (2) Suppose $Y_1,\dots, Y_k$ each appear as the factors in various normal series for $X$. If we concatenate the factors for composition series for the $Y_i$'s and get the factors for a composition series for $X$, then is $Y_1,\dots,Y_k$ the ordered factors for a normal series for $X$?
