I think you choose a good ordering in two steps: first decide what
things belong on the Home menu, and second, decide what order makes
sense. The functionality for the first of these currently exists on all
players, but the latter only exists on the older players
(SB/SB2/SB3/Boom). And if you do it right (ie, in consultation with
family members) they say "thank you" when things aren't the way they
used to be. 

I personally am not looking forward to my wife's reaction to the 7.4
menus on the SBC. She has gotten used to the older menus, and sees no
reason for changing them. But they will change when I put 7.4 on our
main server the day that SqueezeNetwork goes to 7.4, and also add the
Touch and Radio to the main server. Being able to re-order the home menu
would go a long way toward making the transition easier for a casual
user. The current SBC order makes no sense to our current usage
patterns:
