Batter passes runner

I had this happen in a game and I would like to know what should have happened. The umpires had NO IDEA.

Will (batter) hits a shot with Austin on third and Jordan on first. Austin scores and will passes Jordan and ends up Will at third and Jordan at second with ball coming into the infield. Will steps off third and gets tagged out. If Will would have stayed on the base what would have happened?

Will should have been called out when he passed Jordan on the base path and the ball remains live. Austin's run counts with Jordan left on second base. Number of outs at the start of the play and timing could affect the outcome but assuming less than two outs to begin with the above holds true.
