double object
I'm confused with the arrangement of the two objects in the sentence below.
''In this chapter we compress into summary form the main issues discussed so far."
I would normally just write as 'compress something into something', and I've never seen such use before.
Is there any rule for this?

The preposition 'into' allows for this flexibility in word order, but you're right because the sentence can rewritten in the more common form you're familiar with:
In this chapter we compress the major issues we've discussed so far into summary form.
I imagine the author chose this less common, but still legitimate, word order for stylistic reasons. The meaning doesn't change though.
