NSTD.2:5.4 - Comparing candidate orders

ObservationNext useful move
The sequence is readable but a necessary relation disappears.Restore that relation or change the order.
The order has a name but readers infer the wrong dependency.Repair the passage itself; the label has not solved the problem.
The reader recovers the relations needed for this use.Keep the sequence unless a worthwhile improvement is available.
The route will be reused with different material or readers.Compare relevant changed cases; retain the conditions under which the order works.

Use NSTD.6 when a qualified quality result is needed. The number of worked examples alone does not determine an ordering-quality value.
