What is the ruling if a single makmum stands either behind or beside the Imam?

What should happen if there is a mix of genders and people with different roles in the congregation?

If there are people of different genders and roles (like men, children, or individuals with different sexual characteristics), the correct order is to position men first, followed by boys, and then women at the back.
