well, the ones below the separator are also randomly ordered...

- zero width space
- line break
- column break
- frame break

would make more sense and put the zero width one closer to the other spaces...

i already had a discussion about "zero width space".
jghali replied in the end (0015653:0046142): Unicode data does not classify this character as a space.
in that case, maybe it's better to leave it further away from space-glyphs (even if it looks weird).
indeed line – column – frame order makes sense.

personally, i see the zero width space as an hyphenation character.
but we don't have an hyphenation section for the glyphs...
all in all, i feel that the current separation in sections is pretty random, even if it follows some unicode rationals...
if we want to improve the current situation we probably need a solid proposal built from the point of view of a designer... all other moving around will be controversial.

and concerning my proposal: you would have the breaks ordered by:

- word
- line
- column
- frame.

yes, ale's proposal is better ...
