Totals on Cart / Sort order not working

[amenk]

Totals are rendered by "area" - that causes the problem that the sort order which is configured in the backend is not applied.

What is the intention to have an area? Is it for styling purpose? This could be done by adding css classes.

See app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/view/frontend/cart/totals.phtml
Mage_Checkout_Block_Cart_Totals::renderTotals()

@amenk , thank you for reporting this issue!
The team has looked at the issue and responded they could not reproduce it.
Magento\Sales\Model\Quote::getTotals() returns totals which is sorted by values from configuration (Magento\Sales\Model\Quote\Address\Total\Collector::getRetrievers())
The position of Grand Total always remains the same and is not influenced by the sort order. This is the behavior by design. The rest of the fields like Shipping and Tax obey the sort order specified.
We are closing this issue.
