The main reason for the confusing grouping right now is that the patches are split between multiple owners, which each have their own section. I'll see if there's anything reasonable I can do about this. One possibility could be to automatically reorder patch groups during the build.

For example it seems almost every firmware cycle there's someone who is thrown by the home screen patches, cover size in library, remove 3rd row, and then cover size + remove third row.

Yes, I've noticed that too.

I know Geoff used to remark in the patches when they were exclusive to each other. I think this would save future patchers some frustration. I'm not sure, but I believe the order the patches are in in the .yaml file is largely irrelevant save for tracking error responses.

They are still marked (see the PatchGroup instruction). And yes, the order is almost completely irrelevant. Everything is parsed all at once (well technically, it's parsed in layers, see the code for what I mean), and only line numbers are preserved for errors.
