Hi Devs,

We'll be rolling out our Silva 2.3 upgrade soon.  During final testing of
our new silva.core.layout public layout, we noticed that a viewlet manager
which had two viewlets in it was rendering the viewlets in the wrong order.

In each viewlet, we were using the 'silvaconf.priority' directive to try and
force an order to the viewlets.  It turns out that this does not work.
 While silvaconf.priority is used in some places, for example to control the
order of silva addables in the 'add' list, viewlet managers use this
lower-level grok directive: grok.order.

I wasn't aware of this directive until now, but it turns out it is clearly
explained in the grok reference manual in the directives section:
http://grok.zope.org/doc/current/reference/directives.html

So, after replacing the 'silvaconf.priority' directives in my two viewlets
with 'grok.order', my two viewlets are now sorted the way I want them to be.

happy coding,
Andy
