Please help me to correct a sentence

In my paper I wrote: "In free recall, there is no necessity to care about the order of items as is in serial recall, nor is there any cue to refer to as is in cued recall."
I think this sentence might be grammatically wrong, but I cannot render it correct.
The meaning of the sentence is: In free recall, there is no necessity to care about the order of the listed items, but in serial recall, it is necessary to recall the items in order. There is no cues to refer to in free recall, but in cued recall, one can refer to the cues.
Can someone check the sentence above, and correct it if it's wrong? Many thanks!

Thank you for helping me! I hope you could check another sentence for me, please help.
"In all English simple sentences, except emphatic and inverted sentences, the information of a sentence starts from general to particular, from less important to important, and from known to new, and its focus will be at the end of the sentence."
Is it grammatically right? Does this sentence make sense to you?

I do think that the sentence inside the quotation mark is grammatically correct, and the punctuation is correct as well. But if you'd really like to be more assured, you might want to type that in microsoft word, and be sure to set it up to the mode where it'll notify the person if it's grammatically wrong and if there is a misuse in punctuation.

I've been using microsoft word, but thanks for reminding me to set up the mode:) I only used part of its functions.
