Also, make sure you didn't mess with the divs with the ids finishing with _main in your show_default view file override because the variants system uses the data from the variants generated in the show file to replace the content of these _main divs when you change the variant selected. So for example, if you put the right area div inside the product name _main div, when you switch a characteristic, the system will replace the whole right area div with the product name of the variant and thus you'll get your design all messed up. If you don't need to have the data changing on the page when changing the variant selected, you can simply remove the variant data in the show file and the system won't do the replacement of the data removed.

Made me realize the php is loaded properly, the divs are in the custom order, but the css was not properly loaded, because I had styled some ids that are appended with a number for the variant display. Now everything looks properly gorgeous in variant view as well.
