Re: need examples of where the Visual order makes sense, but screen reader order does not

Perhaps another explanation - these cases would be any time you deemed it
acceptable to have a visually hidden description of what the next item in
the reading order was for, that for a sighted person would be understood by
the visual context of where that item was at.

ugh, I am unfortunately not doing the best at thinking right now, so things
might be overly verbose or non-concise. apologies.
