Yeah, they are tricky, these zstyles.

Thanks, this led me to try, by pure experimentation, this:

zstyle ':completion:*' file-patterns '*(-/):directories:directories %p(^-/):globbed-files:files' '*:all-files'
zstyle ':completion:*' group-order globbed-files all-files files directories

Which actually does what I want... It ditches the particular names that
completers give its groups, but at least I get them in the order I want.
Works with cat, less and my "myview".
