What about offering the choice to the user:
- default as it is: modules stay in the processing order
- option to drag/drop (or whatever) in order for the user to choose the
order he wants the modules to appear; and revert to default whenever he
likes to.
I (think I) understand your technical point of view. But I also think that
UI should be as user-friendly as possible; currently, I (and I guess I'm
not alone) am loosing quite a lot of time looking around for the specific
module I want to work with at that precise moment, and that happens for
almost every picture I work upon.
Add all the lost seconds/minutes when you have many pictures to develop...
