This is a platform thing we might not be able to overcome.

Perhaps. I hadn't actually realized that bug was fixed, until now. I'd hate to re-implement from scratch, when we're provided with an API to extend the add-ons manager. Hopefully it can be made to work the way we need it to.

This is a platform thing we might not be able to overcome. I've reached out to someone at Mozilla, but not yet heard back.

Maybe we should open a bug for this? (they can always mark it notfixing)

I'm not quite proud of it, but I've started some work to address this:

http://github.com/arantius/greasemonkey/compare/greasemonkey:master...execution-order

As of this moment, it adds an "execution order" sort option. Providing the ability to alter the execution order (and see it updated) is next. I'd really love feedback on this code, especially if you can find a better/cleaner way to accomplish the same goal.

Unfortunately it's implemented as an XBL binding, and I don't know how, or if it's even possible, to customize an existing binding.

It's still not perfect but this patch makes it less hackish. I overwrite one of the XBL defined functions(using inheritance btw) so it will show the execution order view is selected. The actual sorting portion was super easy since all I needed was an oncommand listener. Now I just need to make the "Execution Order" button only show in the user scripts view.
