"preferred respectively" or "respectively preferred"

Question

I want to write a sentence and say something like this:

After these, X, Y and Z are respectively preferred.

The main purpose is to say that these are the things which are preferred :
1. A
2. B
3. C
4. X
5. Y
6. Z

Which is correct? "preferred respectively" or "respectively preferred" ?

More Context:

For A, B and C I used this sentence: The research showed that most coaches prefer A, B and C.

Answer 1

I don't think respectively works here.

respectively
adv
(in listing a number of items or attributes that refer to another list) separately in the order given:
he gave Janet and John a cake and a chocolate respectively.

This means that Janet got a cake and John got a chocolate.

There is also this definition

in precisely the order given; sequentially.

But I don't think it would not imply which order you intend, high to low or low to high. So, I would not use respectively in this case. I would instead consider

1. After these, X, Y and Z followed, from most to least preferred.
2. After these, X,Y, and Z were preferred, in decreasing order.
3. After these, X,Y, and Z were preferred, where X was most preferred, and Z was least preferred.

This is assuming that X was most preferred, and Z was least preferred.
