Hey Daphne, My thought about the red line & the image re-orderer ( http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Reorderer+QA+Test+Plan+-+Image+Reorderer) based on the test plan I ran through, is that it can be ambiguous whether a target is to the left or right of the vertical line. Sorry - I wrote horizontal line in my email to the list. Compared to the image re-orderer, I commented that I found the target in the layout re-orderer to be unambiguous (a big coloured target appears). But from your reply I can see the difference between reordering a layout and reordering a set/list of images.
I didn't make any changes to the Image Re-orderer test plan but I will add some "test to fail" situations shortly. If you want to chat about this I am available until 3pm PST today on Skype (username: beware_podpeople) and in the IRC room.
