 When the operator asks for the status of an ATVM automation run, report in this order:
 1. Heading/title using the run `build_name`.
-2. `COVERAGE:` section describing what the run was intended to cover, excluding the target-host list.
-3. `TEST FLOW:` section describing the template-specific numbered run flow for the test.

 - Use the same display layout for every ATVM automation status response regardless of test type (`e2e`, `systemOS`, `reboot`, `migrateops`, and others).
 - Use `/home/aw/code/cds/atvm/docs/automation/status-template.md` as the default template for both local status output and Mattermost status posts.
 - The default ATVM status template uses flat bullet-list sections for `COVERAGE:` and `TEST FLOW:`, Markdown tables for `SUMMARY:`, `HOSTS:`, and `TIMING:`, and uses `NOTES:` for flat operator-facing notes.
+- Order the status sections as `SUMMARY:`, `HOSTS:`, `TIMING:`, `COVERAGE:`, `TEST FLOW:`, then `NOTES:`.
 - The `HOSTS:` table includes `Host`, `Kernel`, `Status`, and `Detail` columns in that order.
 - In `COVERAGE:`, describe the template, datastore/config family, migration style, and plugin/integration path, but do not list target hosts there.
 - In `TEST FLOW:`, show the template-specific numbered run flow once for the whole test, not per host.
