This is really interesting. I am certain the two reading orders were not linked when I did my tests a couple of years ago, but I can see they are linked now. It would actually make more sense if they were not linked, then you could avoid the laying issue you describe.

There is a further twist. The reading order in Normal view is not necessarily the same as the reading order in Reading View or Slideshow. I found that in the Reading View or Slideshow shapes, images, titles and subtitles are always read before any text, regardless of the reading order in Normal view. I just verified this again.
