Fixing the order of items in "Modules" menu
-------------------------------------------
Key: MSITE-458
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-458
Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: multi module
Affects Versions: 2.1
Reporter: Andreas Sewe
Currently, it is impossible to influence the order in which the "Modules" show
up in a generated site's menu when including them like this in the site
descriptor:
bq. <menu ref="modules"/>
As far as I can tell, the order of items in the menu depends on the order in
which Maven builds the modules -- and this does not always put the most
important module at the top of the list. In fact, the top of the list is in all
likelihood occupied by various low-level infrastructure modules; the
high-level, user-visible modules typically come much later. :-(
This also means that the order of menu items depends on the module's
dependencies; thus, this can result in unforeseen changes to the *site* when
one module's *build* changes. Why doesn't Maven simply use the order of the
{{module}} elements? That would be simple and predictable.
