I have just received my finishing kit. Vans has backordered sub kit #5-1 and docs 12 Fin Update SV. I am assuming that this is the wiring kit and new plans. My question is after the wing attachment, what should be the order of sections after sec 30. The next section is the wireing which is not included and I do not know if the following sections will make the wiring more difficult after the fact

The best thing for figuring this out is to read several construction blogs and get a feel for all the things that are going in. You will get a really good perspective that way. For example, construct the rudder pedals but do not install them until after you do the wiring. Install them with the plane on its side. Do not put in the control pushrods that go to the flaperons until after you have the wiring done along the bottom of the tunnel. Keep the fuselage with the tail OFF and on its side for as long as possible. Leave the skins OFF that define the rear window until almost the very last step in your build, ditto for installing that window. You will have plenty to do while you wait for the wiring. I highly recommend this blog

And while my picture album is not a blog, you can glean somthing about how much you can do with it still on its side from looking at the pics.
