Well, the prototype I was working on puts Type first, because it's the 'master 
option'. It's really the first thing you want to set. Think about it this 
way. You have the default clock (new user, new default install, no 
customization whatsoever), and you want the digital one. What are you gonna 
set first? The font ofthe digital clock, or the digitalness of the clock?

Type should go first =)

A few quick comments: I don't quite believe that 'Show seconds' and 'Show 
date' belong in Appearance.

Preview should ALWAYS be visible.

My take's at it is attached.

Have fun,
Chris
