How does ordering the options make parsing easier?
What does the receiver do if the options are out of order? Discard
the whole message?

I have a proposal to make ND message processing simpler. RFC4861 and
6lowpan-nd-10 don't specify any specific order in which options are
to
be included, making parsing more complex. We could simplify things by
specifying the order options in the NS, NA, RS, RA messages MUST be
carried.
If nothing else, specifying the order is likely to
reduce interoperation problems. Requiring that they
be in order of increasing Type would be simplest.
Seems like a good idea.
