Why do Catholics have a different canon of scripture for the Old Testament than Jews and some other Christian groups?

The books used in the TaNaK (the Hebrew Bible) are almost the same ones, which were canonized into the Catholic old testament. The main difference between the two cannons is the order the books are presented. The TaNaK is organized with the Torah, also called the Pentateuch (Genesis through Deuteronomy), as the first five books, because they were the most important and establish the laws of God. The next section is the Nevi'im, which is the all of the teachings from the prophets after Moses. The last section is the Ketuvim, which means "Writings," and contains all the poetic and historical Hebrew Literature. When the Catholics canonized the books of the TaNaK into the Old Testament, the books were rearranged to follow a more of a chronological order of event. The first five books (the Torah), were left unmoved, but everything else was scattered. More or less the Catholic canon moved most of the prophet's books, and put them towards the back of the old testament, without changing their original order. The writings were placed between the Pentateuch and the books of the prophets, and the order of those books was changed. Other small changes included the Catholics dividing the books of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles into 2 books each (1 & 2 Samuel/Kings/Chronicles), but the content was unchanged. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah where one book in the TaNaK, but the Catholics separated them into two separate books. Some non Catholic, Christian religions have changed the order of the books even further, and some may have added additional Hebrew texts, not found in the Hebrew Bible.
