Order?

Most of the time you can ignore this option. When you have multiple widget areas that will merge/replace the same area on overlapping conditions, the option will determine what order widgets are displayed in.

Currently the free version can only merge from top or bottom. CAS Pro makes it possible to merge widgets in between existing widgets.

I hope this helps!
