They absolutely are not arranged in height order.
>>79916780A solution that's significantly less likely, but also significantly better for the talents and their fans, would be for them to take the Prism approach - dissolve Niji EN, and release all talents as fully independent vtubers with full IP rights to their respective names and likenesses. Not only would most of the fans who left since February return (along with their SC revenue), but they wouldn't need to start over from scratch or reopen an account which has been mothballed for months or years. And they wouldn't need to wait until their Niji contracts expire to restart as indies.
Niji might as well release them. The west is forever lost to Nijisanji, and the entire vtuber community knows it - to the point that Hololive was dunking on them in their investors meeting. There is no benefit to Niji to keeping them in the company, unless they view spending time and money and resources to intentionally keep the talents unsuccessful and miserable with no tangible benefit to the company, to itself be of some sort of "benefit" to the company.
