These words are completely disassociated with each other; however, disassociation is key to what they have in common.

Yemen

How

Where does the word "Vole" belong on the list, and why?

I noticed that many of them have anagrams: enemy, ?, below, extra, center, who, pale/peal, ?, way, ?, hurt, never, ?, thread, okay, ?, miles/slime, backwards, ?, ?, no, cool, ?, face, sever/serve, spoon, ?, space, ?, remits, ?, lobsters, over, ruby, ... love. Not sure what that might mean, though.

Question marks could be: robust nested various blue hula medical agnostic freak weird reality suitcase. Not sure why vole [love] has an ordered place there.

rm has them mostly right, it's pale rather than peal, hatred rather than thread, smile rather than miles or slime, sever rather than serve, and mister rather than remits.
bonanova filled in all the ?s.
The order is something you either know or don't, but Googling will make readily apparent. I don't think it's possible to reason it out.
