That re-ordering is partly caused by the server, partly on purpose.
What happens is that the Master in a synced group changes, if at least
one player is playing, the master will always be a player powered on.
This is independent of iPeng, it's what the server does, but there's
also an iPeng-related aspect: if you have a group of syncs players, then
outside the NowPlaying screen iPeng will always use he Master for
everything you do, so it will be the master's menus being shown (Unlike
iPeng's own ones, Squeezebox menus provided by the server are
per-player).

This is something you barely notice unless you have different "App"
settings for different players but it might still be valuable to know
this. So the top player in a group is always the master.

The reason why iPeng always uses the master in a group is a bit
difficult to explain but it solves a number of issues you can otherwise
easily have in a Squeezebox system. For example, I bet that a frequently
reported "bug" where synced players "powered up on their own" annoying
people in other rooms or waking them up, mysteriously disappears when
using iPeng :) It's the right thing to do, even if it sounds a bit
strange....
