I realise that this question is probably best asked on 'galaxy-user', but i thought i would give Biostar a shot first.
When i create a GALAXY workflow the order of the steps in the summary are fine until the main pipeline diverges into multiple branches. Then the steps from the different branches get shuffled in the summary and it is difficult to see what is going on.
Q. Is it possible to manually reorder steps in a GALAXY workflow summary?
There used to a problem where workflows with multiple inputs would randomise the order of the inputs each time the workflow was run. Now the proximity of the inputs to the top left-hand edge of the workflow dictates the precedence.
Are you wondering if there's a way to re-order from the workflow "View" page itself? Because you've already mentioned how the spacial location in the editor determines precedence.
I know precedence works for input, but for parallel strand there seems to be no way to change the order in which the steps are shown.
