Did I miss something, or did you not provided arguments /why/ the section should be moved?

We start talking about properties as early as in 2.2.2 Initial visibility and in many other places. Re-ordering the manual to avoid referring to future concepts would entail a major rewrite. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
