I'm submitting a feature request for Gantry to allow features like menu, login panel, etc to allow them to be ordered with modules in the same module position.
I know I could use something like RokNavMenu instead of the template menu but the styling and behavior isn't the same. If the modules that the features are based on would follow the gantry/template behavior then this feature wouldn't be needed.
I had to hard code the features to be populated after the modules in the same position (basically reverse the hard coded default) for a customer site which makes upgrading interesting.
