How do we arrange the pieces to a straight list? From species poorness to species richness? As traditional as possible? Any thoughts?

Mousebirds: Based on Suh et al. (2015) and Suh (2016), the Coliiformes have been moved to a basal position in Afroaves. Yes, there are more changes from Suh (2016) to come. There may be some minor inconsistencies until these changes are all made.

Higher Taxonomy: I have made some changes to the sequence of bird orders as a result of Suh et al. (2015) and Suh (2016). Suh (2016) makes the case for a hard polytomy at the base of Neoaves. I think there is still some information there, and the sequence I use reflects this. As a result, Mirandornithes has been moved to follow Opisthocomiformes (Hoatzin) and Charadriiformes now follows Ardeiformes. See the text for more information.
