Rearrange the members of the structures such that they appear in
order of their types. Also, change the order of their
initializations to match the order in which they appear in the
structures. This improves the code's readability and consistency.

What matters for structure member ordering is dense packing and
grouping commonly-used-together elements for performance.

We shall reorder the variables as per their appearance in the
structure and re-submit. Could you elaborate a bit on dense packing?

"order of their types" are none of those things.
