According to the what seems to be the original news story from 2005 (see my second to last post above), the actual "order of precedence" list is a confidential document maintained privately by the palace (which, in my view, does not necessarily mean that its contents only apply to private occasions). The various unofficial lists found in the public domain may or may not be true to the contents of the official list, which is kept private.
If the 2005 story correctly reported the contents of the confidential document, however, it seems to have been tinkered with since 2005, since the Duchess of Cambridge is now placed higher than (blood) Princess Alexandra.
I think that would be a good modernization.

At the very least I would (as if it was up to me) create a Royal House like the Dutch have and place all working official royals in it and rank them above the sovereign's family, whose precedence can be determined by the existing precedence. I would also place Anne above Edward because she was born first and there is now equal primogeniture (even if it wasn't applied retrospectively)
I think that would be a good modernization.
