How do we arrange powers?

I'm working on Hazbin Hotel pages, specifically Stolas and Alastor at the moment, and I noticed that these characters, especially Alastor, possessed a lot of miscellaneous powers. And, that got me wondering: how exactly do we arrange the Powers and Abilities section? I know Resistances come at the bottom, but do we order powers by their importance or do we just do whatever?
 
There's no other set rule or habit, other than Superhuman Physical characteristics being the very first thing listed.

Personally, with my profiles I tend to list things in this order (with exceptions depending on situational reasons)
  • Superhuman Physical Characteristics
  • General physiology traits (cyborgization, inorganic, incorporeal, large and small size, longevity...)
  • Skills (martial arts, weapons, acrobatics, stealth, genius intelligence...)
  • Bodily stuff (natural weapons, regeneration, immortality, super senses, flight, self sustenance...)
  • Advanced bodily stuff (Shapeshifting, Elasticity, self size manip, body control, transformation...)
  • Simple powers (elements, healing, anything that doesn't require long explanations)
  • Complex powers (mind control, corruption, soul stuff, existence erasure, conceptual...)
  • Technical stuff if present, generally related to videogames (stats amps and debuffs, damage boost, reduction and transferal, statuses....)
  • Resistances
 
Saman sounds about right, we also usually make equipment based powers and resistances separate from ones they have naturally.
