Are you sure it wouldn't be the following?
Highest
Higher
High
Depends on which way you read it.
If top to bottom, I like mine. Higher's higher than high, so follows
it, just as 10's > 9 so in ascending order:
1
...
8
9
10
That satisfies the logical half of the brain.
Aesthetically, I like your way. Thought of it first, in fact, but then
the other half of the brain jumped over the fence and stomped on that
idea.
