This is an important consideration because some zones, such as DMA or DMA32, represent relatively scarce resources. Linux chooses -a default zonelist order based on the sizes of the various zone types relative -to the total memory of the node and the total memory of the system. The -default zonelist order may be overridden using the numa_zonelist_order kernel -boot parameter or sysctl.
