Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, positions with "or" are listed alphabetically.
I do hope that's just a coincidence and the "leader" is truly listed first.
By the way (and I'll admit I'm a bit of a nega) what's with the "or" nonsense. I admit I don't analyze depth charts, but is it common to see "or", especially the week of the first game.
To me, it just seems ridiculous. Name the starters, and if the coaches can't, then what the hell have they been watching the last few weeks of practice. True, I can see where some guys are neck-and-neck, but to have that many listed as "or." Come on.
And we all know that a backup who outplays the starter may leapfrog the starter the rest of the year. So why use the absurd "or." Just seems silly.

I used to work in sports information at a Power 5 Conference school and in the NFL. "Ors" on depth charts are not uncommon at all. Sometimes there are position battles that are just that close, sometimes coaches don't want to tip their hand, and sometimes coaches want to keep guys motivated.
A&M has nine "ors" on its depth chart this week.
