Do you see any > issue with changing the > validation order? AFAICS, changing the order does not change the execution flow. For any violation, add_error() is called and then the function returns. So for inputs with multiple violations, changing the order of checks just changes which error message is present. When messages about length are more telling to the user (and I think that's true in most cases), it is an improvement if they are preferred. Do you have a good reason for also changing the order between the format fn and pattern? Are there even cases where both are used? If there are such cases, I guess it depends on the format fn implementation whether the error message from there is more telling than "value does not match the regex pattern". What do you think?
