Thanks for the suggestion. I tried coming up with a logical way of
ordering, but I am having some difficulties deciding. What do you
think of the following order?

general device settings
" -D --device device to use (default /dev/spidev1.1)\n"
" -s --speed max speed (Hz)\n"
" -d --delay delay (usec)\n"
" -l --loop loopback\n"

spi mode
" -H --cpha clock phase\n"
" -O --cpol clock polarity\n"
" -F --rx-cpha-flip flip CPHA on Rx only xfer\n"

number of wires for transmission
" -2 --dual dual transfer\n"
" -4 --quad quad transfer\n"
" -8 --octal octal transfer\n"
" -3 --3wire SI/SO signals shared\n"
" -Z --3wire-hiz high impedance turnaround\n"

additional parameters
" -b --bpw bits per word\n"
" -L --lsb least significant bit first\n"
" -C --cs-high chip select active high\n"
" -N --no-cs no chip select\n"
" -R --ready slave pulls low to pause\n"
" -M --mosi-idle-low leave mosi line low when idle\n"

data
" -i --input input data from a file (e.g. \"test.bin\")\n"
" -o --output output data to a file (e.g. \"results.bin\")\n"
" -p Send data (e.g. \"1234\\xde\\xad\")\n"
" -S --size transfer size\n"
" -I --iter iterations\n");

misc
" -v --verbose Verbose (show tx buffer)\n"

Kind regards,
