 The '''New User Default Role''' dropdown at '''wp-admin/options-
 general.php''' is in spiffy random order:
  * Subscriber
  * Administrator
  * Editor
  * Author
  * Contributor

 This UI bug suggests that '''Subscriber''' and '''Contributor''' are the
 opposite poles of privilege levels. In fact, they are successive steps in
 increasing privilege. Also, it doesn't make sense to put the least and
 greatest privileges, '''Subscriber''' and '''Administrator''', next to
 each other.

 Please let proximity and position serve their purpose: order this dropdown
 by level of access, starting with the least access:
  * Subscriber
  * Contributor
  * Author
  * Editor
  * Administrator
