A method for coordinating packet transmission order for a plurality of registers of different priority levels is disclosed. Packets are transmitted from the registers according to the priority levels in a normal condition. A count value is generated in response to the transmitted packets. A particular priority level of one of the registers, from which a packet is being transmitted out, is recorded when the count value is larger than a predetermined threshold. Then the normal condition switches into a cleaning condition, and one packet is transmitted from each of the registers which are not empty and have priority levels lower than the particular priority level according to priority. Finally, reset the count value, and return to the normal condition. A device for coordinating packet transmission order for a plurality of registers of different priority levels is also disclosed.
