Y/N means the behaviour is the same regardless of how the option is configured. The meaning of '-' varied a little between the tables. I've removed them from the first table. In the second and third tables '-' means "unchanged from not present". I could have used N but I wanted to make it clearer what was changing. > 2.

The columns are already in that order. I've updated the doc to try and clarify these points.
