 ## Build dependencies
 
 :::note
-Build dependencies should be listed in the following order in `package.yml`
-pkgconfig dependencies in alphabetical order
-explicitly named dependencies in alphabetical order
+Build dependencies should be ordered according to the following rules in `package.yml`:
+1. `pkgconfig` dependencies before explicitly named dependencies
+2. Each of these two groups in so-called ASCIIbetical order (that is, alphabetical order with all uppercase letters before lowercase letters, and digits/punctuation before letters, [see here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#Character_order))
 
 Example:
 <!-- prettier-ignore -->
 ```yaml
 builddeps  :
+    - pkgconfig(MYGUI)
+    - pkgconfig(Qt5Core)
     - pkgconfig(ayatana-appindicator-0.1)
     - pkgconfig(dri)
     - pkgconfig(gtk+-3.0)
-    - pkgconfig(libnotify)
-    - pkgconfig(libpcsclite)
-    - pkgconfig(pango)
-    - pkgconfig(python3)
