This is perhaps a quibble, but...

Looking at the NuVoc definition of , y Ravel

The following statement and the example directly below it...
--------
Produces a list <http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#List>
containing all the atoms
<http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#Atom> in y, in order.

An atom <http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#Atom> is converted
to a 1-atom list <http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#List>, a
list <http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#List> is left
unchanged, and any noun <http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#Noun>
of higher rank <http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#Rank> is
flattened into a list <http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/AET#List>

   ]z=: 0 10 20 +/ i.   NB. sample noun
 0  1  2  3  4
10 11 12 13 14
20 21 22 23 24

   ,z
0 1 2 3 4 10 11 12 13 14 20 21 22 23 24
-------------------

...and also...

   ,'ace',.'bdf'

abcdef


...give the first impression that Ravel puts the items into lexical order,

which is misleading, as shown by the example 2 under Common Uses:


]a =: 4 4 ?@$ 100

89 91 1 24

88 43 43 32

85 84 27 31

10 11 49 90

+/ 50 < , a

6

,a

89 91 1 24 88 43 43 32 85 84 27 31 10 11 49 90


Since NuVoc is targeting new users, the 'in order' statement should. IMHO,
specify explicitly the order as being <whatever description is appropriate>.
