Ordering multiple stress pronouns (other than moi)

Ordering multiple stress pronouns (other than moi)

In the test, I was marked wrong on this question.


________ devez prendre une décision. 


You and she need to make a decision.


☑️ Toi et elle

❌ Elle et toi


Elle et toi was marked incorrect, while Toi et elle was considered the correct answer. 


However, according to the lesson, the only rule pertaining to the order of multiple stressed pronouns in the subject is that if moi is among them then it must be last.  It uses Toi et moi as the example, but the text says moi should be last, not that toi should be first. 


Am I overlooking something obvious, or is there a secret rule? I can’t believe that I am the first to encounter this, but I don’t see this exact issue discussed in the Q&A.


Thank you for clarifying, 

Dusty
