contents The evolution of charge and orbital ordering phenomena in optimally-doped \textit{RE}\textsubscript{5/8}Ca\textsubscript{3/8}MnO\textsubscript{3} (RECMO, \textit{RE} $=$ rare-earth) manganite perovskites has been investigated through average structure synchrotron x-ray and neutron powder diffraction techniques. We demonstrate the intricate relationship between the \textit{B}O\textsubscript{6} octahedral rotation magnitude and lattice strain distortions acting in this series and how they tune macroscopic signatures describing ordering behavior. Through careful symmetry-motivated crystallographic analysis, we show that for the range of RECMO compositions which famously contain maxima in the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) response, their lattice strain states are in close proximity to that associated with a novel orbital order:charge disordered state we have recently unveiled in the quadruple manganite perovskites Na\textsubscript{1-\textit{x}}Ca\textsubscript{\textit{x}}Mn\textsubscript{7}O\textsubscript{12}. We establish that this order is the primary state which competes with the ferromagnetic metallic state which ultimately leads to phase coexistence and the emergence of CMR. Our results lend themselves to aiding a further understanding of how particular chemical complexities can control charge and orbital ordering phenomena, and also the general properties of manganite perovskites and other related systems \textit{via} strain effects.
