When I have heard them mention Elite boarding they say Zone 1 almost instantly after Elite, giving no time to board first really.

So, just consider it pointless.
Preboard, Boardfirst, Elite Platinum & Golds, Zone 1, Zone 2.

Anytime they don't board in this order- fill out your post flight survey or lodge a complaint.
They're just hurting their own business this way.
