Keep in mind that that particular reply was given *after* OP's question was 
answered with an explanation why changing the current interface was not a good 
idea (according to devs and several users).
And *after* a few others jumped in claiming that it (or something similar) 
should be implemented because "intuitive interface". 

I got the impression they thought that it couldn't be all that difficult to 
do... So it was proposed they do the work (after about 70 messages in the 
thread).


Oh, and while you claimed you were not asking to change the dt GUI, in 
practice what you are asking *is a change in the interface*. Currently, 
changing the module order has a well-defined effect: it changes the pipeline 
order *to reflect the module order in the interface*. And changing that link 
between user action and effect is a change in the interface (and a rather 
important one).

"The interface" is not just how things look on the screen, it's also how 
interacting with it influences the program's behaviour and results.
