[O] Changing packages and their order in LaTeX export
I need to include 'amsmath' package in my LaTeX export. Using #+LATEX_HEADER:
\usepackage{xyz} adds it at the end of the list, and then there are LaTeX
related problems.
I tried to find where the default list is defined - it seems like it is in
org.el. However, I have several copies of this file, and I don't know which one
is the right one to change.
So, two questions:
1. Should I change the org.el or is it somewhere else?
2. If it is the org.el, then how can I tell which file is the one which is
used? Should I restart emacs after each edit of this file for the changes to
take effect?
Thanks!

Does M-x customize-group RET org-export-latex RET show something that
could be of interest to you.
As a user, in principle, you should refuse to look at elisp files. But
it's a very good idea to look at the manuals though.

This worked for me! Where did you find it in the manual? I looked there.
Sometimes the manual's instructions are too cryptic for me - in the sense that
I find the variable name, but I don't know how to change it.

Thanks for the tip!

Can you still answer this question? How can I ask emacs to tell me where is the
file it is using and should I restart after each such change?
Thanks,

Hi Dror,
please make an effort while quoting people -- your email is barely

Did you look at this section?
12.6.2 Header and sectioning structure
There is mentioned the `org-export-latex-class' variable.
Then you can do
C-h v org-export-latex-class RET
to get information about the variable, and see in what customization
group it belongs.
I looked
there. Sometimes the manual's instructions are too cryptic for me - in
the sense that I find the variable name, but I don't know how to change
it.
Just do `C-h v' after a variable's name, it will describe the variable.
From the buffer containing the description, you can follow a link to
customize it.
2. If it is the org.el, then how can I tell which file is the one
which is used? Should I restart emacs after each edit of this file for
the changes to take effect?
Can you still answer this question? How can I ask emacs to tell me where is
the file it is using
C-h v org-export-latex-class RET will tell you.
and should I restart after each such change?
No. If you change things in Org Elisp files, you need to reload Org
with M-x org-reload RET
HTH,
PS: While insisting on getting an answer, please be extra careful of
having a readable email ;)

A combination of describe-{function,variable,...} (to get the filename)
and locate-library (to get the exact location -- you can also follow the
link in describe-*) tells you this. And no you don't have to restart
after that change you just have to reload (and recompile beforehand if
it was compiled) it.
But that's only a must if you change the file! A more sensible approach
is using customize. With X-c customize-group RET org RET you can browse
through all org settings that are thought to be changed. And don't
forget to set/save in that dialog.
