More I'm looking at it, more I'm thinking it should have different specifiers
for each group of desired flags to be printed.

So, you leave %pGp as is and then add another letter to add more details, so
user will choose what and in which order they want.

For example, let's assume %pGp == %pGpf and P is a new specifier for what you
are initially adding here:

  %pGpfP => referenced|uptodate|lru|active|private,Node 0,Zone 2
  %pGpPf => Node 0,Zone 2,referenced|uptodate|lru|active|private

and so on.
