We recently received another piece to the puzzle of deciphering the Knights Radiant orders.
See Brandon Sanderson interview:
http://www.17thshard.com/forum/index.php/topic,324.0.html
In his interview, he states that each order has 2 powers, and each power is shared by 2 orders. The small glyphs in the front cover signify the powers. Thus, it is adjacent orders that share specific powers.
Thus, with Shallan being order Shash, Jasnah could only possibly be Palah, Shash, or Betab. Since her personality eliminates Shash, that leaves only Palah or Betab, which are the two possible orders put forth for her earlier.
This also forces Kaladin and Szeth to be in the same, or adjacent, orders.
