+<a id="Customize-Node-Order"></a>Customize Node Order
+=====================================================
+
+By default all nodes are ordered alphabetically while viewing them in the UI.
+Though, it is also possible to order nodes entirely manually.
+
+> **Note**
+>
+> Once manual order is applied (no matter where) alphabetical order is
+> disabled for the entire configuration.
+
+Reorder by Drag'n'Drop
+----------------------
+
+Make sure to unlock the configuration first to be able to reorder nodes.
+
+### Tile View
+
+To move a tile simply grab it with your mouse and drag it to the location you
+want it to appear at.

+
+### Tree View
+
+While in tree view nodes can be moved the same way. You just have a narrower
+area to grab them.

+
+The tree view also has an advantage the tile view has not. It is possible to
+move nodes within the entire hierarchy. But remember to unfold processes first,
+if you want to move a node into them.
+
+File Format Extensions
+----------------------
+
+The configuration file format has slightly been changed to accommodate the new
+manual order. Though, previous configurations are perfectly upwards compatible.
+
+### New Header
+
+A new header is used to flag a configuration file as being manually ordered.
+
+```
+# ManualOrder    : yes
+```
+
+Once this is set alphabetical order is disabled and only the next techniques
+define the order of nodes.
+
+### Changed `display` Semantic
+
+Previously there were only two valid values for the `display` directive.
+(0 = Subprocess, 1 = Toplevel Process)
+
+```
+display 0|1;<name>;<title>
+```
+
+This has now been extended so that values greater than zero refer to the order
+of root nodes. (ascending)
+
+```
+display 0|n;<name>;<title>
+```
+
+### Significant Children Order
+
+Previously the order of a node's children in a configuration file was not
+important in any way. Now this is significant and refers to the order in
+which children appear in the UI and how process states are determined.
