How come bisoxalato comes before diaqua in the name? For reference, the name of the complex is sodium bisoxalato(diaqua)ferrate(III). I thought we were supposed to ignore the greek prefixes and only pay attention to the ligand itself?

I think it has to do with the fact water is less relevant than bisoxalato.

Doesn't it have to do with alphabetical order?
