Opening songs and album sequencing

[FlashGordon]

"I've been playing a lot with the order of Endless Wire, mostly putting the
extended songs where
they belong and trying to find a place for In The Ether."

Shouldn't it go right after Fragments as the opening song to the opera?  I
think Pete's novella opens with Ray High in an institution/in the ether
listening to a voice from beyond (or wherever), and this song seems to
describe that situation.
