This release lets us reorder the edit panel to match the order in which the functions execute. Calibration was listed last....it is the first. Profile was at the top and it is actually one of the last to execute.

I wonder when LrC will be updated to match.
 
I would check about the application.
You can reorder LrC panels today but Adobe determines the application during export and print. The order your panel is in does not matter I've read.
 
The point is that you can now arrange the Develop and ACR edit panels to match the order of execution. That order is evidently not the default order in which the edits are listed.
 
Is there anywhere documented in which sequence the functions of the development module are applied? - Does the sequence in the .xmp file give a hint?

Does it actually anywhere say "to match the order of execution"? If not, then I think you've jumped to the wrong conclusion, as it just seems to me that they've simply introduced the capability (which has been in LrClassic for quite a while) for the user to rearrange the order of the various tools to better suit individual preferences. That "Default Order" is simply the order in which the tools have historically been listed before the rearrange option was introduced.

That's my point. The order in the panel does not dictate the order of execution at least in LrC
 
Fully agreed. But now you can put them in the same order as they will execute....expect for Profile. Profile seems to be fixed at the top of the list, Calibration is executed first as I remember.
 
Unless things have changed recently, and I've missed it, we don't know in what order the various edit tools are actually executed. AFAIK, this new "feature" (which has been in Classic for quite a while) is purely a convenience for the user so that they can group their most used tools to the top of the panel and keep the least used tools at the bottom, thus minimising travel between the various tools.

In terms of the Profile/Calibration tools, yes in the past the Calibration panel may well have been the first tool executed, but only because the profile was selected in that panel. Now that the profile is independent of the Calibration panel, it's logical that the profile is now the first item used, as that would be needed for the initial raw conversion.
 
Blake Rudis spend many hours figuring out the execution order in ACR. He had a class on it. As I remember Profile and the Color tools are last and Calibration is first.
