OK, I don't get the logic of this:

Rule 1 (a) Higher atomic number precedes lower;
(b) A duplicated atom, with its predecessor node having the same label
closer
to the root, ranks higher than a duplicated atom, with its predecessor node
having the same label farther from the root, which ranks higher than any
nonduplicated-atom-node (proposed by Custer, ref. 36)

Rule 2 Higher atomic mass number precedes lower;


Seriously? root distance is checked before isotope. Sure seems odd to me.
Why would that distance check not be after atomic number and mass??

Whatever...

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.
