Ok I got to thinking about a particular part in the Adsense Code.

    Ok i'm sure everyone is familiar with this part of the adsense code google_ad_type = "text_image";
    (text_image = text or image ads)
    google_ad_type = "text";
    (text = only text ads)
    google_ad_type = "image";
    (image = only image ads)

    Now I was think it would be alot better if you could switch text with image like so
    google_ad_type = "image_text";
    And this will allow Image Ads to appear first and if there were no image ads to display then it would fall back on text.

    Would be really useful for my site :(

    I'm not sure if that really determines the order of the ads that appear. It's probably just the file name so the ads know what file to call. I'm just guessing, of course.

    it is just a propery sent in. You have no control over the order placement.

    I wouldn't sugest changing the code as it's against the TOS they have set. Why not email adsense and let us know what comes up...

    The ads that appear are the ones that Google things will earn the most. The ads with the highest CTR * CPC will be displayed first, whether its an image ad or text ads.

    Yep that's about it. Google always displays the most profitable ads first. In a sense its best this way.
