Where?  I just read style(9),  I can only find

     When declaring variables in functions declare them sorted by size, then
     in alphabetical order; multiple ones per line are okay.  Declaring func-
     tions inside functions is not recommendable, since their linkage scope is
     always global.  If a line overflows reuse the type keyword.

I also note that the "sorted by size" doesn't indicate whether
smallest comes first or last (although the example does suggest
the order).
