How deeply does Modern C cover initializer-list expression?

States the sequencing rule but does not provide an initializer example or develop indeterminate sequencing further.

Initializer-list expression

As explained in Modern C

An initializer-list expression is an expression in an array or structure initializer list that supplies an initialized element or member value.

An initializer-list expression is an expression in an array or structure initializer list that supplies an initialized element or member value. section 17.2

TAKEAWAY 17.5

Treat initializer-list expressions for array or structure types as indeterminately sequenced. section 17.2
Apply this rule when reasoning about the order in which expressions inside an initializer list are evaluated. section 17.2
