Hello. Please find in the page linked in the URL field above the discussion that lead me posting here. Basically the order of the checkboxes at Special:Userrights has changed in the past weeks for no apparent reason. For example: the "CheckUser" flag, which was usually under "bureaucrat" is not at the very bottom of the page. There's a file <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Userrights.png> which shows you the past order of checkboxes (note that since its creation new rights were created at meta such as "translator administrator"). I checked at Special:UserRights at other wikis and the same problem exists. Somebody in the global sysadmin or staff group could easily check the special:userrights page to see the issue. Thanks in advance for your help.
I don't see that any specific order is requested from the database, so it is returned "as is". Did the order change in MySQL? I don't know... What would be the "correct" order?
There is no database for Special:UserRights, it is using config vars, maybe some one has change the order there or the load order for checkuser was changed.
Proposing closing as WORKSFORME as there's not much sense to revert this anymore now. Marco: Would you be fine with that?

I'm fine with whatever resolution you want to take regarding this. However, personally, I would preferr the previous order as seen in this screenshot: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Userrights.png>. Regards.
