My ideal grouping of rear lights would be:

- indicator

- reflector
- brake

I prefer:

Indicator
Reverse
Tail/fog
Reflector
Brake

There is no need for a separate tail and fog light, allowing a smaller
cluster - what is the point of a tail light when the fog lights are on?

Reverse to separate Indicator and Tail/Fog. Reflector to separate
Tail/Fog and Brake.

Yes that works even better than mine, in that it puts a light that is
rarely used (or a reflector) between the ones that need to be
distinguished: indicator and brake.

I wonder why the normal grouping puts tail and brake in one housing and
fog in another, when tail/fog and separate brake is much better, since
tail and fog do the same job in different types of visibility - I think
of foglights as brighter-than-normal tail lights for use in fog.

Exactly the way my mk2 Sierra was wired from the factory (although
others were the other way around) and the way I wired both of my
trailers (2 because the first one was stolen).
