In the Define Roles page you can change the ordering of roles by using the up and down arrows. But what does it actually achieve? I was hoping that it would affect the order of the Course Managers in the verbose course listings but it seems to make no difference.

To (possibly partially) answer my own question. I don't think they do anything.

IMHO, they *should* be reflected in the course listings page if you have more than one Course Manager selected but they are not. I've fixed that in CVS.

I guess that they may have some effect on brokering multiple role situations, but I'm much less sure about that.

Hi Howard,

Thanks for fixing MDL-10395. approve

I just learnt from Yu that role order also affects the user named on the 'you need an enrolment key from' page (see my comment in MDL-10585).
