Common sense.
But here are two informal recommendations:
1) longer line first;
2) you may still group by struct, POD or other flavours (see below).

Here is obviously the longer line case.

Here and in other cases above, swapping them won't interleave the
types grouping (like int-u64-int). But in some cases it's allowed when
you put the last definition in the block the definition of the
variable that keeps the returned value.
