Ordering of mechanisms by the SPF record wizard

While reading the "bad advice: Please stop publishing -all it is NOT time yet" thread, I saw that Wayne suggested that any "ip4:" mechanisms appear *before* "a" / "mx" / "ptr" mechanisms in the TXT record. Apparently, that allows the record to be checked faster?

However, the SPF record wizard puts the "a" / "mx" / "ptr" mechanisms at the start of the line. Perhaps this needs to be changed in the wizard?

Also (and I don't know who writes the wizard or takes suggestions), it would be useful if the wizard would break-down any x.x.x.x/nn notation and display the address range covered. (e.g. "192.168.108.0/24" would display under the explain section as "192.168.108.0 to 192.168.108.255")
