To to my knowledge, The _Daijisen_ is one of the most authoritative
dictionaries of Japanese, at least for contemporary usage. When they provide
several writings for the same entry, are there any rules to their sorting of
these writings?

I realise all of them could be considered correct, and I think brackets mean
that part could be left out. Is the first spelling the recommended one? And if
so, are the kana in brackets recommended or not? See for example すきみ (to
peep):

Is the recommended spelling 透き見 or 透見? Or is there no recommendation at all?

I understand this information is probably in the usage information, but my
Japanese is not good enough to navigate it.

question
kanji spelling dictionary
How are different spellings sorted in the Daijisen dictionary?
Apparently the more widely used come first. From
[here](https://japanknowledge.com/contents/daijisen/hanrei03.html):

> 漢字表記が二つ以上考えられる場合は、原則として広く用いられるものを先に掲げた。

FYI This kind of "how to use" is called 凡例{はんれい}.
