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. Tony

So, probably announces the avoidance information in a certain order to suit the risk. ATC will always use the same format, Tony. They don't vary it according to what they perceive as the most relevant threat. Of course, if they saw an immediate danger then it would be perfectly acceptable to just instruct a climb etc and then follow up with the details but 99% of the time it will be "Traffic 2 o'clock, 3 miles, 200 ft above, descending through your level" etc.
