Hello. How do you set the plugin order? Thanks!

[jokob-sk]

Hi @stanelie , this is done internally by the config.json of individual plugins. Changing the order manually might lead to unpredictable behaviors - I haven't tested it. With the release of #826 - where you can order plugins in the settings, it might be possible, but I haven't tested it.
