We will likely always show modules in the order they are applied, doing anything else, makes the process opaque and hard to troubleshoot if any unexpected behavior happens. Stuff like this "regularly" bit me in applications which do not offer this kind of transparancy. Second, being able to move the order of processing the pipeline, is currently static because making them movable has many technical challenges, which we've up until now avoided. Though this might be rediscussed in the deeper future.

While I do not have a particular opinion about this myself, having consistency with apps like GIMP often tends to be a good thing. > -For the third suggestion, I was not aware of the shift+click thing, I don't > remember seeing it in the user guide.
