At the end of the day, whether or not you use styles, when editing the
images, you will still tweak most of the modules that you want to use.
Which means they have to be where you expect them to be.
I don't see a reason for the order of the modules to be inverted; if one
wants to ensure users know the order of the application of modules, they
can be arranged in the same order in which they are applied, instead of the
other way around.
When I first used DT and saw a favourties tab, I immediately wanted to add
the modules I would use into favourites. WB, exposure, spot removal, lens
correction, GND, denoise, crop, vibrance, tonemap, shadows/highlights,
local contrast, colour zones, monochrome, tone curve, sharpen, and
vignetting. With the exception of a few, they now appear in the inverse
order that I would use them. Vignetting and sharpening are right up top,
with exposure and WB right at the bottom. I didn't expect this behaviour; I
always work from top to bottom and not the other way round.
This is the main reason why I suggested the feature to rearrange modules
according to one's own workflow - at least in the favourites tab
