The last time I flew with SE2 I went to a fairly busy airfield so was keeping a good visual lookout in the circuit and listening to SD audio traffic warnings.
I think it may be helpful if the order of the audio traffic warning information was in a different order.
At the moment the altitude of the "target" aircraft is announced last along with info if climbing, descending or level.
I had to listen to all the other info first before being able to decide if it is a likely threat or not.
If the warning info was re-ordered then SD users wouldn't have to listen to the whole warning before deciding if avoiding action was necessary.
Suggest the order is something like this:
Altitude (climbing/descending/level), position, crossing direction etc.

/thread and product drift/
For that very reason, PilotAware should colour code METAR consistently with the system used at military airfields. :-)
