Position evaluation symbols in click menu could be laid out in numerical order #29

The position evaluation symbols are laid out:

= += =+ +/- -/+ +- -+

I get lost in this layout, because in my head, the symbols are on a number line: -n -+ -/+ =+ = += +/- +- +n, so my mouse instinct scrolls toward the top of the menu for +- but finds =.

I consulted the NAG chart, and I see that you're following that scheme, so I can't use that to support me. But do you agree that if we placed the evaluation symbols over a line representing computer evaluations of a position, it would look like -+ -/+ =+ = += +/- +- .
