not good

I think this is another the sum of the parts is worth more than the whole.
The precedence is off-very, very, very off. I suspect it was mounted in the UK.
The tag on the back is a clothing tag, not a tailors' tag. These tags are common. I also suspect the Anschluss medal at the end may be a repro-but not having it in hand can't say for certain. I'd also like to see that EK2 up close.
It should go:
EK2/KVKx/Ost/Austrian gallantry awards/Aust merit cross/KTC/Hkx (note- no Austrian 14/18 medal) anschluss.
I'd blacklight it.
Also-notice there's no LS medal of any sort. AN Austrian who spent that sort of time at the front and picked up a merit cross implies an NCO of some sort-as well as almost insane bravery (3 bravery medals 1917-18???!!). No austrian medal-yet he took the time to apply for an HKx.
I do not think so.

I'm no expert but the same thing struck me, the order of the medals on the bar is surely very wrong, i can imagine a wrong ribbon, or 2 medals say being in the wrong place (but still next to each other), but this does look odd.
Having said that, it's strange for someone to go to this length but get something so easily researched as medal placement wrong

For the rest of us who haven't learned the proper order/regulations of a WWI/II medal bar, could you please....

Why do you think it was done in the UK??? Cheers, Torsten.

Here's a nice medal bar with the 8-Year SS Long Service Medal and the tailor's label on the back.

Wow, it's odd that he never even got the KVKII after (8) years of service in the SS. ???
