Do you think that saint Paul refers to the Lord as both Christ Jesus and as Jesus Christ for a theological reason or is it just a matter of convenience?

I doubt it has any significance.

In Latin and generally in formal affairs, the TITLE comes after the name as in Julius Caesar. At times, the NT follows this formal format: Jesus Christ. Jesus (Yeshua) being his personal name, Christ (anointed one) being his title.

In Greek and in less formal settings, the NAME comes after the title (as we do in English). At times, the NT follows this Greek format: Christ Jesus.

I don't think there's any significance in the format.
