Sentence examples for order of trait from inspiring English sources
We determined variation in plumage traits by lining up all 66 specimens at the same time and arranging them in order of trait appearance (e.g., very white undertail coverts to very blue undertail coverts).
Removing these traits from the analysis did not alter the predicted order of trait acquisition compared with the initial analysis, or the conclusions that we draw from these predictions.
In future it would be interesting to explore the role that related traits, order of trait acquisition, and climatic history have played in the observed patterns of salt tolerance evolution, as has been examined for C4 photosynthesis [ 23] and freezing tolerance [ 34].
Hypotheses about the ordering of trait divergence during the evolution of a lineage can be complemented by investigating the mode and tempo of trait diversification within lineages [ 4].
This result suggests that the order of C4 trait acquisition is flexible.
We conclude that the order of C4 trait acquisition is flexible and driven by non-photosynthetic drivers.
If this is indeed "honourable", then I'll… well, I'll just carry on being totally bemused by how far Ukip has managed to push the concept of honour down the pecking order of desirable traits among politicians.

Furthermore, the model predicts that there is a strong preference for the order of appearance of traits, a feature the authors have validated by measuring some previously undetermined trait values (a proxy being the abundance of transcripts by qPCR).
Testing the order and extent of trait divergence during the evolution of a clade helps to understand the relative importance of separate morphological and climatic trajectories, as well as the possible drivers of species diversification.
