Got what you meant now.
The Order was A, B, C, D, E, F
They batted C, B and both got on base. But as the pitch to B legitimized C, D was the real proper batter due up, not B.
If you appeal immediately, D (the proper batter) is out, B is removed from the bases, C returns, E should be up.
If A goes to the plate and a pitch is delivered, then B is legitimized, C should be up but he's on base, so D is up. And because the at bat isn't completed you just send him up with the count A had before the appeal.
AND the real order is still A, B, C, D, E etc. and you have to follow it next time through.
