Text Order on Creature Cards

If a creature has a lot of text on it, and has the ability Reach, please put Reach first before all other text. When a creature has a lot of text and has flying, typically the art serves as enough of a reminder to remember that for combat purposes (especially limited). It is a complete tossup whether or not a wordy creature has reach and where it will be on the card. Examples from MH3 limited: Petrifying Meddler, Annoyed Altisaur, Nyxborn Hydra, Writhing Chrysalis.

One of the challenges of templating is what order do you put text in? Do you prioritize things that you need to know when you cast it? Things that happen when you play it? Qualities it has on the battlefield that are relevant to combat?
