Sure, there are two parts, the order w.r.t. the signature parts (e.g.
"before return type") and the order between the attributes themselves.
Both are included in what I meant.

By the way, clang-format-13 already has a way to pass it a list of the
"attribute macros" (such as `__unused`), so adding more information on
top seems reasonable.

Cheers,
