(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. -- cgit v1.2.3
