Steinsalz says:

Standard collections of the Mishna include Massekhet Nazir after Massekhet Nedarim and before Massekhet Sota in Seder Nashim, even though Nazir has no direct connection to marital issues or family law. Nevertheless, since the parsha that discusses the laws of Nazir appears in close proximity with that of Sota – a wife suspected of adultery (see Bamidbar chapters 5–6) – they were placed next to each other in the Mishna, as well. The entire tractate focuses on the laws of a Nazir, although some of these laws were already discussed in Massekhet Nedarim and others find their place in the laws of sacrifices and ritual purity.

We begin the new masechta with some introductory thoughts...
