I think the - unwritten - ruleset is currently: - Data picker target (<varslot>, technically) goes on top, except: - If a selection is only needed subject to certain other settings, the <varslot> is directly below those. Example: File->Export->Export Table / CSV, the "Rows and Columns" tab. Whether or not the above is a good ruleset, there are - very few - plugins that violate it, as far as I am aware. Examples I have found are: - Analysis->ANOVA->ANOVA (from rk.ANOVA), mixing "Design" in between the <varslots>. That still makes some sense to me, although it may be possible to move "Design" to an entirely separate row on top of everything (including the data selection list, aka <varselector>). - Analysis->Means->t-tests->Pairwise t-tests, placing "Data format" first. Again, it might make sense to move this "even higher" as in the "t-Test" plugin in the same menu. I assume you had in mind more problem cases than just these two. Could you give some examples?
